Leyton Orient pull off a classic cup performance as [1.04] Arsenal are denied while five-star Manchester City sink Paul Ince's Notts County

A small piece of FA Cup magic was created by Leyton Orient in east London tonight when the League One outfit denied Arsenal with a late, late equaliser to rock their illustrious opponents.

The Gunners had been backed at [1.04] to win in 90 minutes after Tomas Rosicky's 53rd minute header put them in the lead.

But the Os plugged away and got their reward when Jonathan Tehoue burst through the Arsenal rearguard at the death to score. The draw was backed at [28.0] on Betfair.

In the day's early kick-off Manchester CIty strode into the fifth round of the FA Cup after a 5-0 hammering of Notts County at Eastlands today.

Betfair customers make Roberto Mancini's men the [6.0] third favourites to lift the trophy at Wembley in the final.

City were backed at [22.0] to win 5-0 - a result they achieved thanks to a late onslaught, scoring goals in the 84th, 89th and 91st minutes to add a big cherry to the Sunday cake.

With a major trophy the goal for the Citizen's mega-rich owners, you sense a Wembley final is likely. But it won't be easy, the fifth round brings Aston Villa to Eastlands while Everton or Reading will visit should City get past the Claret and Blues.

The day's other match saw Bolton eliminate Fulham. Wanderers were backed at [5.4] for an away win.

An FA Cup classic is on the cards after Arsenal/Leyton Orient were pulled out of the hat to face Manchester United in the fifth round...
