Play by play
- 90'
A torrid evening for Southampton and Gordon Strachan. The fourth round and the FA Cup dream very much alive for Newcastle United and Sir Bobby.
- 90'
Another Saints attack fails. Prutton tries a chip. Given clears. Newcastle win for the first time at Southampton since 1972.
- 90'
Svensson fouls Jenas. Viana to chip in a free-kick. Shearer and LuaLua there. The man from the Congo misses.
- 89'
A poor pass for the ailing Phillips. Not his or any of his team-mates' day.
- 89'
Jenas intercepts, cuts insides and plays in LuaLua. He chooses to cut in and misses the target.
- 88'
Telfer attempts a speculative effort after Given came off his line. Needless to say on this black night for Southampton, it's not successful.
- 87'
Off goes Laurent Robert. On comes Hugo Viana. He'll fancy a chance to impress.
- 86'
Kevin Phillips getting the bird from the Newcastle fans. Might be something to do with his former club.
- 85'
LuaLua gets clear with the ball. Shearer the target for his cross. Lundekvam clears the ball.
- 84'
Svensson fails to win a throw. He's lost the ball rather too much tonight for the liking of Gordon Strachan one thinks.
- 83'
Job done for Dyer and co. Time to rest legs for Bobby.
- 82'
Off go Dyer and Solano for Darren Amrose and LuaLua.
- 81'
Shearer down the right swings a cross over. Only Jenas there and so Niemi claims under little pressure.
- 80'
Bramble clears a Higginbotham cross. Nothing doing for the Saints tonight.
- 79'
Shearer penalised for hacking out. Prutton breaks up a Newcastle attack.
- 78'
Southampton looking for the final whistle. Time can't pass quick enough for them.
- 76'
Bernard on the charge, beating two men. But Lundekvam comes across to stop him. Looked to be a rather rough challenge. No penalty given by Mike Dean.
- 75'
Shearer overhits a through pass to Solano. Robert looked rather miffed that he wasn't given the ball.
- 74'
Svensson sells Higginbotham short. The Swede has had a real shocker.
- 73'
Hughes heads away from Ormerod. Neacastle's back four looking far more solid than they have for some time.
- 71'
Niemi clears under pressure from Robert. The game all but over.
- 69'
Woodgate clears to Prutton. The former Forest man drills his shot over.
- 67'
Shearer on the run but his pass is miles away from Dyer. Saints have been taught a real lesson by their North-eastern visitors.
- 66'
Dyer takes the mantle on. He gets a chance to run at the defence from Shearer's flick. He beats Prutton and Svensson and then flicks it over Niemi. 3-0 and game over. Great goal!
- 65'
Ormerod comes on for Pahars.
