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."
