TEN-MAN Ipswich looked set to go into the hat for the FA Cup quarter-final draw before suffering late heartbreak at Watford. With a replay beckoning, Damien Francis met Tommy Smith's low cross to send the Premiership's bottom side through.

The visitors' chances of an upset were dealt a blow when George O'Callaghan was sent off on the stroke of half-time.

Making his full debut, the midfielder was given his marching orders after referee Steve Bennett deemed he had aimed a kick at Hornets defender Danny Shittu.

Ipswich could have earlier been in front when Sylvain Legwinski hit the bar from 25 yards. The 10 men continued to attack bravely but were were ultimately found wanting.
