Jan 27, 2012, 22:09 GMT
London - Tottenham Hotspur won through to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Friday with a 1-0 victory over Championship side Watford, while Everton beat Fulham 2-1.
Spurs were far from convincing at Vicarage Road, but took the lead three minutes before half-time, Rafael van der Vaart driving a shot that bounced through Scott Loach as Spurs broke quickly.
The Dutch forward later hit the bar, but Spurs never got out of first gear, grinding out the win.
At Goodison Park, Danny Murphy gave Fulham a 14th-minute lead from the penalty spot after Johnny Heiitinga had handled.
Dennis Stracqualursi levelled from Landon Donovan's cross 13 minutes later - his first goal for the club.
And, with 17 minutes remaining, Marouane Fellaini headed in another Donovan cross to give David Moyes's side the win.
