LONDON (AP) ― Blackpool and Millwall advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup with wins on Tuesday night to set up games against Premier League opponents.

Blackpool beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 in their fourth-round replay on goals by Matthew Phillips, Lomana LuaLua and Ludovic Sylvestre, earning a Feb. 18 game at Everton.

Millwall needed an injury-time goal from substitute Liam Feeney to beat Southampton 3-2 and will get a lucrative home game against Premier League struggler Bolton. After Liam Miller put visiting Millwall ahead in the 17th minute, the hosts took a 2-1 lead on goals by Adam Lallana in the 35th and Richard Lambert in the 77th. Dany N’Guessan tied it 2-2 in the 79th.

Spain

Athletic Bilbao advanced to the final of the Copa del Rey with a 6-2 rout of Mirandes, winning the total-goals series on 8-3 aggregate to bring an emphatic end to the third-tier club’s historic run.

Goals by Iker Muniain, Markel Susaeta and defender Jon Aurtenetxe had Bilbao up 3-0 by the 22nd minute. Bilbao’s Fernando Llorente and Mirandes’ Aitor Blanco each scored twice in a free-scoring second half.

Germany

Bundesliga leader Borussia Dortmund cruised past fourth-tier Holstein Kiel 4-0 to reach the semifinals of the German Cup.

Robert Lewandowski and Shinji Kagawa scored in the first 18 minutes, and substitute Lucas Barrios and Ivan Perisic got goals during the last 10 minutes on the frozen field.

France

Rennes took a three-goal lead and beat Evian 3-2 to reach the French Cup quarterfinals.

Jires Kembo-Ekoko scored on a deflected free kick in the 20th minute and Julien Feret doubled the lead in the 54th.
