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.

Iran TV: Earthquake injures 100 in northeast city (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? An earthquake of moderate strength caused damage and injured 100 people in the city of Neyshabour in the northeast part of Iran Thursday afternoon, Iran's state TV reported.

The TV report said 17 of the injured were hospitalized and the others were treated for minor injuries and released.

As the quake rumbled through the area, many residents of the city fled their homes into the streets. Rescue teams were still at work in the area late Thursday.

The magnitude 5.5 quake shattered windows and affected communications for a short time.

It also destroyed walls of homes in some rural areas, the report said.

Residents of several cities and towns 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the epicenter reported feeling the quake.

The quake jolted the city of 220,000 in about 550 miles (900 kilometers) northeast of the capital Tehran at 16:05 local time (13:35 GMT).

Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes, experiencing at least one slight quake a day on average.

In 2003, some 26,000 people were killed by a magnitude 6.6 quake that flattened the historic southeastern city of Bam.

Samsung washing machine pings your phone when load is done

Samsung washing machine and smartphone app

One of the more interesting things to come out of Samsung's CES 2012 press conference was a quick glimpse at this Android app which would connect to one of their smart washing machines and notify you when your load was done. Details were skimpy, but I got the impression that you would be able to a bunch of other tasks on the washing machine remotely with the app. 

The running theme for big electronics manufacturers like Samsung has been tying up all of their various businesses into one another, and though there are some really obvious synergies between, say, TVs and tablets, utilities like this washing machine Android app are much more unexpected and interesting. LG's thinking very much the same thing; during their press conference, LG showed a fridge which could shunt your grocery list to your phone.

My big worry is that these manufacturers will close themselves off so that unless you're an all-LG house or an all-Samsung house, you won't be able to enjoy a fully-connected home. A washing machine is a big purchase, so if you buy it for this Android utility, then you're more or less locked-in to buying Samsung phones for the indefinite future, right?

Man United routed by Newcastle

By STEVE DOUGLAS

updated 6:13 p.m. ET Jan. 4, 2012

LONDON - Manchester United lost its second straight Premier League game, a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle on Wednesday night that left Manchester City with a three-point lead.

The most unusual occurrence of the night was in Liverpool, where Everton's Tim Howard became just the fourth goalkeeper to score in the Premier League, putting in a wind-blown clearance from about 100 yards during Everton's 2-1 loss to Bolton.

Playing his 250th club match in England, Howard gave Everton a 63rd-minute lead at Goodison Park. His right-footed kick from about 5 yards inside his own penalty area bounced about 30 yards from the Bolton goal and was blown by the wind over leaping Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan, who was standing by his 6-yard box. Howard hardly reacted.

Bolton rallied on goals by David Ngog in the 67th and Gary Cahill in the 78th.

The only other goalkeepers to score in the Premier League are Peter Schmeichel, American Brad Friedel and Paul Robinson.

Friedel scored for Blackburn following a corner kick at Charlton in the 90th minute on Feb. 21, 2004, but Claus Jensen scored seconds later to give Charlton a 3-2 win. Schmeichel's goal also was in a losing effort, for Aston Villa in a 3-2 defeat at Everton on Oct. 20, 2001. Robinson scored in a 3-1 home win over Watford on March 17.

The game marked the return to Everton of American midfielder Landon Donovan.

Following its 3-2 defeat at home to Blackburn on Saturday, United stumbled again as Newcastle got goals from Demba Ba in the 33rd and Yohan Cabaye in the 47th. Phil Jones headed the ball for an own goal in the 90th.

City (15-2-3) hosts United (14-3-3) on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) ? Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas scored two goals each, Xavi Hernandez had three assists and Barcelona beat Osasuna 4-0 in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa del Rey.

Messi, recovering from the flu, entered in the 59th minute and raised his season total to 31 goals when he scored on a header off Fabregas' cross in the 73rd and a 17-yard left-footed shot in the 90th. Just nine of Messi's 211 goals for Barcelona have been on headers.

Fabregas, who has 13 goals in his first season with Barcelona, scored in the 14th and 18th minutes.

Barcelona has outscored opponents 99-16 this season, including 37-1 in winning eight games in a row.

The second legs are next week. Barcelona could advance to a quarterfinal against defending champion Real Madrid, which beat Malaga 3-2 on Tuesday.

In Wednesday's other game, Real Sociedad defeated Mallorca 2-0.
