Sometimes you have to take risks.&quot;At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.Much-maligned German forward Timo Werner headed Chelsea into the lead in the 54th minute, finishing off Reece James&#x27; cross for his first goal in 11 games.With Villa fan Prince William watching from the stands, 19-year-old striker Cameron Archer equalised in the 64th minute with a close-range header from Matty Cash&#x27;s cross.James scored Chelsea&#x27;s winning penalty in the shoot-out after Ashley Young and Marvelous Nakamba missed for Villa.<div>- Kane back on track -</div>Harry Kane ended his goal drought as Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo knocked out his former club Wolves 3-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Molineux.Tanguy Ndombele gave Tottenham a 14th-minute lead when he charged down Conor Coady&#x27;s clearance and shot past John Ruddy.Kane, without a goal in his four previous games, increased Tottenham&#x27;s advantage after 23 minutes.Dele Alli&#x27;s perfect pass sent Kane clear and the England captain found the bottom corner.Leander Dendoncker pulled one back for Wolves seven minutes before the break when he headed in Rayan Ait-Nouri&#x27;s corner.Daniel Podence levelled 13 minutes into the second half from Dendoncker&#x27;s pass.In the shootout, Dendoncker, Ruben Neves and Coady all missed for Wolves.&quot;He has much more to give and it&#x27;s about the game, improving and growing together,&quot; Nuno said of Kane.Arsenal eased to a 3-0 win against third tier AFC Wimbledon at the Emirates Stadium, setting up a last 16 clash with Leeds.The Gunners, featuring 10 changes from the weekend win at Burnley, went ahead in the 11th minute.Gabriel Martinelli was fouled by Nesta Guinness-Walker and Alexandre Lacazette slotted home the penalty.Emile Smith-Rowe doubled the lead in the 77th minute and Eddie Nketiah&#x27;s impudent flick wrapped up the win three minutes later.Ademola Lookman scored his first Leicester goal in a 2-0 win at second tier Millwall.Lookman, making his maiden Leicester start following his loan move from RB Leipzig, netted five minutes into the second half with a cool strike after Kelechi Iheanacho&#x27;s effort was saved by George Long.Iheanacho got on the scoresheet himself, driving into the roof of the net in the 88th minute.Brighton manager Graham Potter enjoyed a 2-0 win against his former club Swansea thanks to a first half brace from Aaron Connolly at the Amex Stadium.<div>© Agence France-Presse</div>
