Shea Charles scored five minutes from full time as second-tier Southampton stunned Arsenal with a 2-1 victory in the FA Cup quarterfinal at St Mary’s on Saturday, a night the club also remembered remembered a famous victory in the competition 50 years ago.
Southampton took the lead on 35 minutes through Ross Stewart, but Arsenal were level midway through the second half when Viktor Gyokeres equalised. The Premier League leaders looked the most likely winners from there.
But when the home side launched a counter-attack on 85 minutes, they did so with numbers and Tom Fellows fed Charles in the box for him to poke the ball past goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Southampton, who wore a special yellow commemorative jersey to mark 50 years since its 1976 FA Cup final win over Manchester United, join Manchester City and Chelsea in the semifinals.
West Ham United host Leeds United in the last of the quarterfinals on Sunday.
SOUTHAMPTON LEAD LATE ON! 🤯
