Southampton beat Palace to reach fourth round

3 years ago 88

Adam Armstrong capitalised on a second-half error by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita to earn Southampton a place in the FA Cup fourth round.

Guaita's attempted clearance was charged down by Armstrong, who was left with a simple finish at Selhurst Park.

Odsonne Edouard had put Palace ahead, but James Ward-Prowse equalised with a free-kick that was intended as a cross.

Armstrong completed the turnaround to earn Southampton a priceless victory.
