Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admitted he was stunned by his side's stunning capitulation after they were dumped out of the FA Cup 4-0 by Fulham on Sunday.

Trailing 4-0 at half-time following two Danny Murphy penalties and efforts from Brede Hangeland and Moussa Debelle, Spurs were also reduced to 10 men with Michael Dawson seeing red in the 13th minute.

William Galas was forced to come off the substitutes' bench to cover for Dawson despite carrying an injury and the manager is anxious to avoid losing any more defenders.

"We are down to two central defenders," Redknapp said.

"William Galas has a hip injury. I didn't want to play him today but he had to be on the bench because we didn't have any cover.

"He had to come on when we went down to 10 men. Otherwise I only have Sebastien Bas song if Dawson is going to be suspended for three games. Youn es Kabul is having an operation on his knee. I'm not sure how long he'll be out for. Maybe six weeks."

Fulham boss Hughes is already eyeing a trip to Wembley after his Fulham side crushed Tottenham to set up an FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Wigan or Bolton.

Hughes' side have emerged from a difficult first half of the campaign to move away from the Premier League relegation zone.

The former Manchester City manager is now confident his side can compete on two fronts and wants them to emulate their efforts of last season when they reached the final of the Europa League when Roy Hodgson was at the helm,

"They are both our priority," said Hughes, referring to the league and the Cup.

"We are looking to try to progress in this competition. It's a fantastic competition. We've navigated the two early rounds and if we get a result in the next round here we're right in the business end of it."

Non-league Crawley were handed a dream tie against Manchester United as the draw for the fifth round was made on Sunday.

Crawley, who defeated League Two Torquay 1-0 on Saturday to become only the sixth non-league side ever to advance to the last-16, will travel to Old Trafford for the standout fixture of the round.

The tiny Sussex club have already accounted for Championship strugglers Derby and League One side Swindon, and manager Steve Evans refused to rule out another upset.

"It (getting paired with United) was just a surreal moment," Evans said.

"We got the tie that everyone in the country wants. I suppose if you are Arsene Wenger or Alec McLeish you don't want that draw - but we did.

"We will approach the tie in a really positive nature."

In other ties, League One's Leyton Orient will entertain Arsenal at Brisbane Road in a London derby while League One side Brighton travel to Stoke.

Orient chairman Barry Hearn was delighted by a draw that will ensure a money-spinning meeting with the Gunners.

"We're in danger of breaking even - I don't what's happening these days with football," Hearn joked.

"But the money is secondary. I've been chairman for nearly 16 years and we've never had anything like this. It's going to be a fabulous day out. I love the FA Cup."

West Ham's reward for beating Nottingham Forest 3-2 on Sunday will be a home tie against the Championship's Burnley.

The winner of Nots County and Manchester City will face Aston Villa at home while Sheffield Wednesday travel to Birmingham.

Holders Chelsea will play Reading at Stamford Bridge provided they overcome Everton in their fourth round replay.
