LONDON — Tottenham recovered from conceding twice in a chaotic start against Burnley to advance to the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-2 replay win on Wednesday.

Paulinho, Etienne Capoue and Vlad Chiriches scored their first goals of the season before Danny Rose completed Tottenham's turnaround by the 52nd minute.

It was a tighter game for surprise Premier League highflier Southampton, which edged past second-tier club Ipswich 1-0 through Shane Long's 19th-minute goal.

Southampton, which is third in the league, will host Crystal Palace in the fourth round on Jan. 24, when Tottenham plays Leicester at White Hart Lane.

Bradford's reward for routing 10-man Millwall 4-0 in another replay on Wednesday is a trip to Chelsea after advancing from the third round for the first time in 15 years.
