The romance of the FA Cup dimmed this afternoon as all the Premiership sides save Sunderland came through safely against lower division opposition in their third round matches.
Only First Division West Brom held their heads high as they pulled off the major shock when they beat Sunderland 2-1 coming back from a goal down.
Both non-league clubs exited - Canvey Island were always behind against Burnley losing 4-1 with Ian Moore grabbing a hat-trick, but Dagenham at least led Ipswich Town 1-0 before falling away to lose 4-1.
Both Second Division Blackpool and First Division Barnsley poked their noses in front against Charlton Athletic and Blackburn Rovers before Charlton edged Blackpool 2-1 and Blackburn drew 1-1 with Barnsley.
Norwich dominated Chelsea but failed to break the deadlock with the match finishing 0-0.
And Michael Owen grabbed a first-half double to ease holders Liverpool to a 3-0 win over Birmingham - Frenchman Nicolas Anelka adding the third for his first for the club since joining on loan - and only their second win in seven matches.
