GREAT FROM SCHAR
Fabian Schar's positioning is excellent there to clear the danger.

WALL FOR WARD-PROWSE
That's a rare sight! James Ward-Prowse sees his free kick blocked in the wall by Isak. Very brave from Isak who is down in discomfort.

BIG CHANCES FOR NEWCASTLE!
Sean Longstaff has an effort saved by Bazunu and Isak has his effort saved just seconds after. That would have killed off the tie.

BIG CHANCE FOR ARMSTRONG!
That was a huge chance for Southampton, Romeo Lavia plays a pass right through the heart of the Newcastle defence and Armstrong tries to lift it over Pope but the goalkeeper saves. What a chance.
70'
FOUL GIVEN
James Ward-Prowse whips a free kick into a dangerous area but the referee has blown for a free kick the other way for a foul.
69'
FREE KICK FOR SOUTHAMPTON
Bruno Guimaraes is punished for a handball and Saints have a free kick.
