at Vicarage Road

A LAST-GASP equaliser for Southampton by Stuart Armstrong denied Watford a trip to Liverpool in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Valerie Ismael’s side had led for the majority of this fourth round clash following Matheus Martins’s early opener this afternoon in Hertfordshire. 

Martins, a 20-year-old former Fluminense winger, now on loan at Vicarage Road via Udinese, fired home after only five minutes.
