Adam Armstrong gives Southampton dressing room verdict after Newcastle United leave Saints rattled

Adam Armstrong has insisted Southampton are still very much in the cup tie ahead of his return to St James' Park.

The 25-year-old Geordie thought he'd hauled the Saints back into the League Cup semi-final last night only for the goal to be chalked off for a handball after a VAR call from Andre Marriner. The striker is now looking forward to the second leg.

Speaking after the narrow 1-0 win on the South Coast, Armstrong said: "We’ll go to St James’ with something to believe, it’s going to be a great atmosphere next week. It’s a massive game, what footballers live for, semi-finals, big competitions, chance to get into Wembley."
