PREMIER League side Queens Park Rangers was rescued from potential embarrassment in a third-round replay in the FA Cup on Tuesday thanks a late winner against third-tier MK Dons.
Wales defender Danny Gabbidon's 73rd-minute goal gave QPR a 1-0 win at Loftus Road, earning the team a fourth-round home match against west London rival Chelsea.
QPR required a last-minute equalizer by Heidar Helguson to earn a replay against MK Dons and was again troubled by a team 30 places lower in English football's pyramid, with the visitors overrunning Mark Hughes' team at times and wasting some golden chances before Gabbidon struck.
Bolton, which also came from behind to earn a replay against lower-league opposition, beat fourth-tier Macclesfield 2-0 to reach the competition's last 32.
First-half goals by striker Kevin Davies and Bulgaria winger Martin Petrov set up an all-Premier League match against Swansea on January 28.
Second-tier League Championship teams Leicester and Millwall also progressed from replays on Tuesday.
Leicester thrashed Nottingham Forest 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick by former Everton striker Jermaine Beckford to set up a match against fourth-tier team Swindon, which beat Premier League side Wigan 2-1.
