LONDON – Tottenham was eliminated by Leeds and Chelsea needed a late equalizer to draw 2-2 at third-tier Brentford on Sunday as the fortunes of Premier League teams in the FA Cup fourth round showed no sign of improving.

Spurs joined Aston Villa, Norwich and Queens Park Rangers in exiting the famous competition to lower-league opposition this weekend by losing 2-1 at Elland Road.

Spain striker Fernando Torres spared Chelsea a similar fate by scoring an 83rd-minute goal — his first in nine games — to earn a scarcely deserved replay against Brentford, after the European champions were outplayed at times by their west London rivals.

Liverpool visits third-tier Oldham later Sunday, when the fifth-round draw is also made.
