West Brom 1-2 Southampton - Dusan Tadic scores a classy goal to send Saints through to the quarter-finals

West Bromwich Albion's troubled week continued as Southampton scored in each half to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2005.

Albion were looking to move on from an incident in which four senior players were interviewed by police after a taxi was stolen from outside a fast-food restaurant in Barcelona.

But the fifth-round tie started badly for the hosts when Saints centre-back Wesley Hoedt took advantage of slack defending to guide home James Ward-Prowse's corner.

Dusan Tadic's sublime chip seemed to put the game beyond the Baggies, only for Salomon Rondon's stunning volley to restore their hopes seconds later.

Alan Pardew's side, who are bottom of the Premier League, rallied as the home fans continued to provide their backing and Ahmed Hegazi's scuffed volley against the bar almost rewarded their support - despite the circumstances - with a late equaliser.
