Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Southampton: Saints advance with routine win

Southampton last reached the FA Cup final in 2003

Southampton reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup with a routine win over the Wolves at Molineux.

A close-range goal from Danny Ings and Stuart Armstrong’s decent late finish secured a win that ended a run of four straight defeats.

While both managers have made significant changes to their sides since the weekend, the Saints got along better and showed more fluency to earn progress.

The quarter-finals will be played on the weekend of March 20th and 21st.
