Long's late goal sees stagnant Southampton past Norwich

Shane Long scored a dramatic stoppage time winner to lead Southampton to a 1-0 FA Cup third round replay win at home against Championship side Norwich.

Long's scrappy 92nd minute effort set up a fourth round clash at home to Arsenal -- but the laboured performance did little to restore the fans' faith in under-pressure manager Claude Puel.

Positives

Southampton had no fewer than six home-grown players in their starting line-up, suggesting the future remains bright on the south coast.

Maya Yoshida continues to grow in stature with every appearance and has been the main beneficiary of captain Jose Fonte's spat with the board.
