Fulham, competing for a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals, hosted Championship side Southampton at home. The match at Craven Cottage ended in a 1-0 victory for the visitors.
Idman.Biz reports that the home side was involved in a bizarre goal incident during the match. Southampton goalkeeper Daniel Peretz's kick hit his own defender's head and went towards Rodrigo Muniz. Although Muniz sent the ball into the net, the goal was not counted because referee Jarred Gillett blew the whistle before.
This decision came at a very high price for Fulham. In the 89th minute of the match, Ioachim Andersen fouled Finn Azaz in the penalty area, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. In the 91st minute, Ross Stewart accurately converted the shot and led his team to victory.
Thus, Premier League representatives Fulham have ended their run in the tournament, while Southampton have secured their place in the quarter-finals.
