FA Cup: Fulham 0 Southampton 1Southampton scored a stoppage-time penalty to defeat Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage to cause an FA Cup fifth-round upset. Fulham believed they were denied a fair goal when Peretz blasted a quick goal-kick straight at his own defender and Rodrigo Muniz stabbed in the loose ball. Leo Scienza wasted a wonderful chance to give Saints the lead midway through the first half. After a Fulham corner was cleared by a hoof from Azaz, the Brazilian winger beat Ryan Sessegnon to it in the centre circle before racing through on goal and sending his shot agonisingly wide. Extra-time looked a certainty until Andersen’s trip and Azaz’s tumble, and Stewart rifled Saints into the last eight.
