The harsh cruelty of the FA Cup befell Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli as his mistake proved crucial in their fourth-round replay defeat by Sunderland. He had been immense for an hour, pulling off save after save as the home side took the lead against the run of play through Hugo Rodallega. But on 61 minutes, Sunderland full back Patrick van Aanholt swung in a cross from the left that took a huge deflection, and though Bettinelli caught the ball under his crossbar he proceeded to drop it over the line. Fulham keeper Marcus Bettinelli fumbles the ball into his own net to bring Sunderland back into the game
