Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge is trying to forget about emulating Peter Osgood's record of scoring in every round of the FA Cup.

Sturridge hit a double against Watford and scored against Preston in the fourth round before grabbing Chelsea's third in the 4-1 demolition of Cardiff on Saturday. Fans have jumped at the chance to put a sports bet online on the record being broken.

"Someone told me about it on Friday and I was thinking I don't need that pressure," said Sturridge. "I always want to score goals and want the team to win but I am not looking at the record. If I see someone in a better position then I am going to pass to them."

He added: "It has been a good run for me and we are progressing in the tournament. Cardiff worked very hard as a team and it was hard for us to break them down, but as time went on quality shone through. We were working hard and in the end we got our rewards.

"It was a different position for me. I was out on the left whereas in the other two games I was in the middle. In the Preston game I was also on the right and behind the striker, so I am learning my trade."
