Southampton Knocks Out Fulham from FA Cup with Late Penalty
Southampton's Championship side eliminated Fulham from the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory at Craven Cottage. Ross Stewart scored a dramatic penalty in injury time after Finn Azaz was brought down by Joachim Andersen, marking Southampton's first FA Cup quarter-final appearance in four years.
The match saw Fulham's second goal disallowed in the 54th minute due to an offside call against Timothi Castagne. Fulham's head coach Marco Silva made nine changes to the lineup following a recent loss to West Ham United.
Southampton's head coach Tonda Eckert, who took charge in November, has led the team to an impressive unbeaten run of ten games in all competitions. The match was marked by controversy, including a disallowed goal for Fulham when a ball struck Ryan Manning's back and fell to Rodrigo Muniz, who scored but was ruled out as the referee had already blown the whistle.
