Southampton 1–2 Man City: Saints Fall Short at Wembley

Southampton’s FA Cup journey is over, but Saints left Wembley with pride after pushing Manchester City all the way in a dramatic 2-1 semi-final defeat.

On Episode 376 of the Total Saints Podcast, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to look back on the day at Wembley, Finn Azaz’s stunning goal, the incredible scenes in the Saints end, and the late City goals that ended the dream.

The panel discuss the performance, the atmosphere, the standout displays from Caspar Jander, Cam Bragg, Nathan Wood and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, and whether this can now fuel Southampton’s final push for promotion.

Then attention turns quickly to Tuesday night, with Ipswich Town coming to St Mary’s for a massive rearranged Championship fixture. Can Saints keep the automatic promotion race alive heading into the final day?

Also on the agenda: Flynn Downes’ suspension, possible team changes, Ipswich’s penalty record, score predictions, the U21s’ defeat to Aston Villa, and a reminder to watch/listen to our interview with Southampton Women’s Director of Football Marieanne Spacey-Cale.
