LONDON -- Huddersfield set up a match against Wigan in the last 16 of the FA Cup after beating fellow second-tier side Leicester 2-1 in a fourth-round replay on Tuesday.

Sean Scannell scored a 75th-minute winner for the visitors, who were expected to struggle against a team that is challenging for promotion to the Premier League and beat Huddersfield 6-1 in the league on Jan. 1.

Adam Clayton's free kick put Huddersfield ahead in the fifth minute but Michael Keane equalized two minutes later.
