So it came as no surprise when Muntari found himself in enough space down the left to provide a wonderful near-post cross which Benjani turned in with a side-foot volley.
The Blades conceded in the 18th minute when Bates latched on to Andrew Taylor's cross and fired home but Lowton nodded Bjorn Helge Riise's back-post cross into the net to reward the home side for a spell of concerted pressure.
Ramires did well to win possession before feeding Cole, whose near-post cross was met with a subtle flick from Drogba that flew in via the near post.
Offiong met Simon Mensing's back-post cross but could only head tamely into the arms of Balogh.
Gerrard's clever drag-back deceived Jozef Valachovic and his near-post cross was bundled home inelegantly but effectively by Heskey.
Elano sought to change that trend with a back-post cross that was headed high over the top by Chelsea's Ramires.
Jon Obi Mikel almost deflected Dean Whitehead's near-post cross past Cudicini but the home side's best chances fell to Jones.
Steven Whittaker's back-post cross was headed into the six-yard box by Kyle Lafferty and Boyd raced in to volley past goalkeeper Graham Stack.
Heitinga somehow contrived to head wide from Seamus Coleman's far-post cross.
Bellamy's persistence earned a corner on the left and Collins got across his marker to turn home Ramsey's near-post cross, the Aston Villa defender scoring his second international goal.
The Seasiders could have doubled their lead with Gary Taylor-Fletcher almost converting a far-post cross and Craig Cathcart somehow missing a free header when it seemed easier to score.
Further Bolton embarrassment followed shortly after the break when Bale capped a surging run down the left with a near-post cross that the stretching O'Brien could only divert into his own net.
Robert Green then made a superb fingertip save to deny John O'Shea at the other end before Rooney screwed his volley wide after Heinze picked him out with a superb far-post cross.
And it was Drogba who hauled his side back into the game when he exploited the space at right-back, after Pantsil had been forced off injured, and headed in Branislav Ivanovic's far-post cross.
The deserved breakthrough came, however, when Boruc failed to collect Brunt's high cross to the back-post and Damien Johnston headed back to give Feeney the simple task of tapping in from four yards.
Guerreiro, who has impressed for Poland in this tournament, caused more problems for the Croatia defense in the 68th minute when his far-post cross picked out Marek Saganowski, but the striker's downward header was well held by Runje.
Elliot then gave the home side the lead in on 28 minutes, racing in front of David Lilley to direct Lee Wallace's cross in at the near-post.
Kilmarnock had a glorious opportunity to equalise just after the hour mark when Mehdi Taouil's cross to the right-hand post found recently-introduced Simmonds, but he contrived to blast his effort wastefully over the bar.
Drogba's goal - a neat, near-post finish from Ashley Cole's cross five minutes before half-time - was his 13th in 13 games against the Gunners.
Craig Thomson, back in the Hearts defence along with fit-again Ismael Bouzid, was proving a threat from left-back and his curling cross found Suso, but the Spaniard's front-post header flew wide from 16 yards.
At the other end Gael Givet then made a vital clearance from Brett Ormerod's dangerous left-wing cross with Gary Taylor-Fletcher poised to strike at the far post.
Soon after Carlton Cole's cross was volleyed over at the far-post by Milner, then Waterman had a clearance charged down by Cole and was only just able to clear his lines.
The Frenchman headed David Graham's cross against Olejnik's right-hand post with what looked like the aid of a touch from the Falkirk keeper and the Bairns won the ensuing scramble for the loose ball.
However, the home side were back in the tie within seconds of the restart when Graham broke down the right, his cross found Antoine-Curier at the back post and the powerful header flew past Pernis.
West Brom were on the cusp of a leveller when Brunt looked set to slot in a low Marc-Antoine Fortune cross at the far post only for Rafael Da Silva to get in a crucial foot and divert the ball wide.
However, Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen made several fine saves to prevent a rout, and Ivan Klasnic had the ball in United's net only for it to be ruled out before Matt Taylor reduced the deficit with 15 minutes left with a far-post header from a cross by Kevin Davies.
