Substitute Liam Feeney struck in stoppage-time as Millwall knocked Championship promotion-chasers Southampton out of the FA Cup with a 3-2 fourth-round replay victory on Tuesday.
Feeney’s late winner proved the difference at St Mary’s and it left visitors Millwall looking forward to a home tie with Premier League strugglers Bolton Wanderers.
Millwall made a fine start and opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Liam Trotter struck from close range.

Adam Lallana drew Southampton level 10 minutes before halftime with a superb solo effort and in the 77th minute substitute Rickie Lambert gave the south coast club the lead, but two minutes later, Dany N’Guessan, once on loan at St Mary’s, fired Millwall back into the lead.
Extra-time loomed until Feeney cut in from the left to curl in a superb winning goal.
Tuesday’s other FA Cup replay saw Blackpool beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0, a result that left the Championship side to make the short trip to Lancashire top-flight rivals Everton in the fifth round.

The Seasiders, who had needed a last-minute penalty to earn a replay against third-tier Wednesday, wasted little time at Hillsborough.
Ian Holloway’s side effectively sealed victory inside the opening quarter of an hour with a Matt Phillips goal and a superb Lomana LuaLua curler putting Blackpool 2-0 in front. Early in the second half, Ludovic Sylvestre put the result beyond doubt with a shot he bent in from the edge of the area.
If the Wild finally break through and win their first playoff series in a decade, Minnesota’s top line likely will be the reason. They were all over the Golden Knights through the first two games of their NHL Western Conference quarter-finals series, which was 1-1 going back to Minnesota for Game 3 today. The Wild tied the series with a 5-2 win on Tuesday. Matt Boldy had three goals and an assist in the first two games, while Kirill Kaprizov produced two goals and three assists. Joel Eriksson Ek, who centers the line, has yet to get on the scoresheet. “I think the biggest
From a commemorative jersey to a stadium in his name, Argentine soccer organizers are planning a slew of tributes to their late “Captain” Pope Francis, eulogized as the ultimate team player. Tributes to the Argentine pontiff, a lifelong lover of the game, who died on Monday at the age of 88, have been peppered with soccer metaphors in his homeland. “Francisco. What a player,” the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) said, describing the first pope from Latin America and the southern hemisphere as a generational talent who “never hogged the ball” and who showed the world “the importance of having an Argentine captain,
Noelvi Marte on Sunday had seven RBIs and hit his first career grand slam with a drive off infielder Jorge Mateo, while Austin Wynn had a career-high six RBIs as the Cincinnati Reds scored their most runs in 26 years in a 24-2 rout of the Baltimore Orioles. Marte finished with five hits, including his eighth-inning homer off Mateo. Wynn hit a three-run homer in the ninth off catcher Gary Sanchez. Cincinnati scored its most runs since a 24-12 win against the Colorado Rockies on May 19, 1999, and finished with 25 hits. Baltimore allowed its most runs since a 30-3 loss to
Arne Slot has denied that Darwin Nunez was dropped from Liverpool’s win against West Ham because of a training-ground row with a member of his coaching staff. The Liverpool head coach on Sunday last week said that Nunez was absent from the 2-1 victory at Anfield, having felt unwell during training the day before, although the striker sat behind the substitutes throughout the game. Speculation has been rife that the Uruguay international, whom Slot criticized for his work rate against Wolves and Aston Villa in February, was left out for disciplinary reasons. Asked on Friday to clarify the situation, Slot said: “He
