James Bree scores extra-time winner as Southampton beat Leicester in FA Cup


Cyle Larin’s penalty in first-half stoppage time put Saints on course for round five but Oliver Skipp’s acrobatic equaliser early in the second half made it 1-1 at the end of normal time. Managerless Leicester had not won since beating Cheltenham in round three and it took until the 19th minute for either side to create a chance. Skipp levelled seven minutes into the second half with a brilliant overhead kick from six yards after Saints had been caught sleeping at a corner. Divine Mukasa should have won it for Leicester in stoppage time but put a free header from Harry Winks’ corner over while another corner was cleared off the line by Quarshie. Bree headed a 109th-minute winner after Manning’s free-kick had flicked off the head of Leicester substitute Patson Daka into his path at the far post.
