"Shea Charles fired Southampton to Wembley as Tonda Eckert's Championship side stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal in a famous FA Cup quarterfinal victory."
"Mikel Arteta's injury-disrupted side arrived at St Mary's as overwhelming favourites a fortnight on from their galling Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City."
"However, their treble tilt ended on the south coast after Charles secured a late 2-1 victory as Southampton bounced back from Viktor Gyökeres cancelling out Ross Stewart's first-half opener."
"It was just a fifth defeat of the campaign for Arsenal, who sit nine points clear at the top of the Premier League but have plenty of soul searching to do after costly back-to-back cup losses."
Shea Charles scored the winning goal as Southampton defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the FA Cup quarterfinal. Ross Stewart opened the scoring for Southampton, but Viktor Gyökeres equalized for Arsenal. The victory marks a significant achievement for Southampton, who aim to replicate their 1976 FA Cup win. Arsenal, despite being Premier League leaders, faced their fifth defeat of the season and must address their recent cup losses.
