New Delhi, April 5 – Shea Charles' late goal sent Southampton into the FA Cup semi-finals at Arsenal's expense, as the Championship side stunned the Premier League leaders and 14-time champions.
Ross Stewart scored the opener 10 minutes before half-time, after a slick counter-attack that followed another promising breakaway, this time with Leo Scienza taking too long to shoot.
Scienza hit the crossbar with a curling effort in the second half before Arsenal substitute Viktor Gyokeres leveled the score just seven minutes after coming on.
However, it was another substitute, Shea Charles, who had the final say, scoring a superb winning goal with a powerful shot five minutes from time, as Saints continued to honor the heroes of 1976, 50 years on.
Tonda Eckert made five changes to his side following the 2-0 win over Oxford that propelled Saints into the Championship play-off places ahead of the international break, extending the team's unbeaten run to 14 matches in all competitions.
Earlier, Erling Haaland's clinical hat-trick led Manchester City into the semi-finals for the eighth consecutive season as they defeated Liverpool 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Antoine Semenyo also scored as last season's runners-up continued their bid to go one better this time around with a dominant display, securing their 18th straight home win in this competition.
The result saw City surpass Clapham Rovers' record of 17 straight home wins in the FA Cup between 1873 and 1881. This is a run that stretches back to February 2017, with their last home defeat coming against Middlesbrough back in January 2015.
The win was also City's 32nd straight win in the FA Cup outside of matches at Wembley (semi-finals and finals), further highlighting our incredible consistency under Guardiola.
City have won the FA Cup a total of seven times, including twice under Guardiola, who has won 19 major honours at City.
Elsewhere, Chelsea secured a place in the semi-finals in convincing fashion as the Blues scored seven goals and kept a clean sheet to defeat Port Vale at Stamford Bridge.
