Southampton 2 Millwall 3:SUBSTITUTE LIAM Feeney propelled Millwall into the fifth round by netting a superb stoppage-time goal last night.
The 25-year-old’s last-gasp effort proved the difference against the Championship promotion-chasers at St Mary’s and sets up a home tie with Bolton.
Millwall started the match strongly and broke the deadlock after 17 minutes when Liam Trotter struck home from close range. Adam Lallana pegged the visitors back with a superb solo goal and, after the break, substitute Rickie Lambert fired Southampton into the lead.
For all of the home side’s attacking intent, goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski was being called into action regularly and was beaten by former Saints loanee Dany N’Guessan with 11 minutes remaining.
The match looked to be heading for extra-time until Feeney cut in from the left to curl in a stunning winner in stoppage time.
