Willian dispatched two inch-perfect finishes as Chelsea cruised past Hull 4-0 and into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Brazil forward's smart brace sealed a comfortable Stamford Bridge victory stroll, with Olivier Giroud bagging his first Chelsea goal and Pedro also on target before the half-time whistle.

Willian also showed his savvy side, however, appearing to distract David Meyler with a cheeky comment just before the Hull midfielder missed a second-half penalty.

Meyler turned around and ruffled Willian's hair - with both men all smiles - but the Hull star's tame spot-kick was then saved by Willy Caballero.

Chelsea are the 10/3 second-favourites with Sky Bet to win the FA Cup.

Manchester City head the outright odds at 2/1.

Sheffield Wednesday fan Jamie Vardy put the Blades to the sword as Leicester claimed a 1-0 win to knock Sheffield United out of the FA Cup.

Sheffield-born Vardy, released by the club he supports at the age of 16, had been the target of "Owls reject" taunts by the visiting supporters, but he had the last laugh when he headed the only goal of the game after 66 minutes.

The fifth-round tie was the first game the striker had started in this season's competition, having previously played just 10 minutes of the replay against his former club Fleetwood last month.

Leicester can be backed at 11/1 with Sky Bet to win the FA Cup.
