“It’s nice to create history, isn’t it!”At Craven Cottage, Ross Stewart’s ice-cool penalty in stoppage time sealed Southampton’s 1-0 upset. Southampton won it in the first minute of stoppage time when Finn Azaz was fouled by Fulham defender Joachim Andersen and Stewart drilled his spot-kick past Benjamin Lecomte. Relegated from the Premier League last season, they are through to the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2022. Their players wore a yellow commemorative kit to mark 50 years since they wore the same shirts when Bobby Stokes sealed second-tier Southampton’s shock 1976 FA Cup final win against Manchester United at Wembley. But Tonda Eckert’s side are unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions as they chase FA Cup glory and a place in the Championship play-offs.
