FA Cup Fourth Round replays
- Southampton 3-0 Watford
- Plymouth Argyle 1-4 Leeds United (aet)
- Coventry City 4-1 Sheffield Wednesday
SOUTHAMPTON FORWARD SEKOU Mara’s quickfire second-half double in the 3-0 FA Cup replay victory over Watford booked a fifth-round trip to Liverpool.
The Championship high-fliers extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 24 matches when Che Adams teed up the 21-year-old Frenchman in the 52nd minute.
Mara, who had been linked with Sheffield United in the January transfer window after making just one league start this season, doubled his tally six minutes later with his fifth goal in nine appearances, before Adams wrapped things up 14 minutes from time.
- Leeds march on -
At Home Park, three extra-time goals fired Leeds into the fifth round with a 4-1 win at Championship rivals Plymouth.
Substitutes Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter combined to put United 3-1 up before a 117th-minute own goal by Argyle striker Ryan Hardie capped a comprehensive United win.
Leeds will now travel to Premier League Aston Villa or Chelsea on 28 February.
Leeds’ pressure eventually told as Wilfried Gnonto fired them ahead in the 66th minute with a superb, measured right-foot strike from the edge of the box to beat Northern Ireland goalkeeper Conor Hazard at full stretch.
But Argyle levelled from a 78th-minute Morgan Whittaker free-kick from the left as teenage central defender Ashley Phillips looped the far-post ball over Illan Meslier to Brendan Galloway, who chested the ball home.
Seven minutes into extra time Rutter put Summerville on his way to a brilliant individual goal as he cut in from the left before beating Hazard with a soaring strike.
As Plymouth pressed for an extra-time leveller, Summerville teed up Rutter to sweep home Leeds’ third goal in the 111th minute.
Argyle’s misery was completed when Ilia Gruev’s corner glanced off Hardie and skidded past his own keeper.
- Sky Blues -
Elsewhere, Coventry coasted to a home tie against non-league Maidstone after three goals inside nine second-half minutes dispatched Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday 4-1.
Kasey Palmer’s early opener for the hosts had been cancelled out by Bailey Cadamarteri’s 10th-minute equaliser but the game turned immediately after half-time as Callum O’Hare scored twice, with Haji Wright adding the fourth.
