Bolton Wanderers ended Birmingham City's [ Images ] dream of an FA and League Cup double when South Korean Lee Chung-yong headed home in the 90th minute to secure a 3-2 win in their FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
Birmingham, who beat Arsenal [ Images ] in the League Cup final last month, twice came from behind at St Andrews but had no reply to Lee's winner which put Bolton into the semi-finals for the first time since 2000 when they lost to Aston Villa [ Images ].
Bolton went ahead when Johan Elmander scored with a powerful strike after 21 minutes before Cameron Jerome equalised for the home side with a low shot that beat Jussi Jaaskelainen at his near post after 38 minutes.
Kevin Davies restored Bolton's lead from the penalty spot after he was toppled in a clumsy challenge by Curtis Davies after 66 minutes, before Birmingham equalised for a second time 14 minutes later.
Kevin Phillips took the goal brilliantly, lifting a high ball over Jaaskelainen from the edge of the box, a minute after he had hit the post with another long-range effort.
Manchester United [ Images ] meet Arsenal in the day's second quarter-final at 1715 GMT while Manchester City [ Images ] play Reading and Stoke City [ Images ] play West Ham United on Sunday.
