LONDON - Danny Gabbidon headed in Shaun Wright-Phillips' corner kick in the 73rd minute, and Queens Park Rangers beat the third-tier MK Dons 1-0 in a replay Tuesday night to reach a fourth-round matchup against London rival Chelsea in the FA Cup.

Bolton also reached the last 32 of soccer's oldest knockout competition, defeating fourth-tier Macclesfield 2-0 on goals by Kevin Davies in the first minute and Martin Petrov in the 26th. Bolton will play Swansea next in another all-Premier League match on Jan. 28.

Second-tier League Championship teams Leicester and Millwall also progressed from replays on Tuesday.

Leicester routed Nottingham Forest 4-0 behind a Jermaine Beckford hat trick and will play fourth-tier team Swindon. Millwall will host fellow League Championship team Southampton after defeating Dagenham & Redbridge 5-0 as Darius Henderson scored three goals.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) ? Espanyol scored three times from the 85th minute on to rally for a 3-2 win over third-division Mirandes in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal.

Alain Arroyo scored a 27th-minute opener for Mirandes and Pablo Infante scored his competition-high fifth goal in the 77th at Cornella-El Prat stadium.

Vladimir Weiss started the hosts' comeback in the 85th, Rui Fonte tied it two minutes later and Espanyol captain Joan Verdu took advantage of a defensive error to score the winner with a left-footed shot in the 90th.
