Michael Ballack scored twice and Frank Lampard hit the other as Chelsea beat Ipswich Town 3-1 to reach the fifth round for the 11th successive season.

Turner headed in Andy Dawson's freekick before Ashbee scored from 20 metres to wrap up the victory.

United, who also beat Spurs at the same stage in last season's competition, came back with two goals in three minutes with Paul Scholes scoring from a deflected shot in the 35th minute and Berbatov making it 2-1 with a superb shot past goalkeeper Ben Alnwick soon after.

Swansea City knocked out FA Cup holders Portsmouth with Nathan Dyer, on loan from Pompey's arch-rivals Southampton, opening the scoring after 26 minutes when he chested down and shot past David James in one sweet movement.
