Five minutes of additional time
Yellow Card for Kyle Walker-Peters (Southampton)
The Saints defender is booked after pulling down Wilfried Zaha near the byline.
Southampton substitution: Moussa Djenepo replaces Adam Armstrong
Southampton substitution: Ibrahima Diallo replaces Joe Aribo
Zaha shot deflected over
A worrying moment, as Wilfried Zaha beats Kyle Walker-Peters on the edge of the box and sends in a left-footed shot that deflects off Lyanco and loops toward the far top corner, but it goes just over.
VAR Decision: Penalty not awarded for Crystal Palace [Wilfried Zaha] was confirmed
Darren Bond's decision not to award Palace a spot kick is upheld!
Palace appeal for a penalty
Wilfried Zaha races past Lyanco in the box and goes down claiming a foul. Referee Darren Bond says no, but VAR will check it.
Southampton substitution: Kyle Walker-Peters replaces Samuel Edozie
Yellow Card for James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)
The Saints skipper pulls back Eberechi Eze and is shown a yellow.
Crystal Palace substitution: Jeffrey Schlupp replaces Joel Ward
Crystal Palace substitution: Eberechi Eze replaces Will Hughes
Armstrong celebrates putting Saints ahead 📸
YESSSS! ARMA!
Saints are in front! It's a shocker from Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, who comes out of his area to receive a back pass, dallies on the ball and is then tackled by Adam Armstrong, who simply then rolls it into the empty net. COME ON!
GOOOAL!!!
Adam Armstrong (68’) | 1 – 2
Yellow Card for Duje Ćaleta-Car (Southampton)
The defender is booked for a hefty tackle on Michael Olise.
Armstrong so close to putting Saints in front
Ainsley Maitland-Niles delivers an in-swinging cross from the left, and Adam Armstrong flicks a clever header that loops towards the far post, only for Vicente Guaita to make an excellent diving save to push it behind, with Palace clearing the resulting corner.
Crystal Palace substitution: Jean-Philippe Mateta replaces Odsonne Édouard
Crystal Palace substitution: Luka Milivojevic replaces Cheick Oumar Doucouré
Southampton substitution: Sékou Mara replaces Ché Adams
A first substitution of the afternoon from Nathan Jones.
Zaha fires over
Michael Olise's delivery from a deep position finds Wilfried Zaha pulling away at the back post, but he has to stretch his left foot out to reach it and can only put it well over.
Yellow Card for Romain Perraud (Southampton)
A booking for the Saints defender, as he pulls back Michael Olise.
Clyne off target against former club
It's a nice move from Palace down the left, before working the ball across the area and then back to Nathaniel Clyne charging forward from the right-back position, but his first-time strike flies way over the bar.
Bazunu saves from Olise
A half chance for Michael Olise as the ball is worked to him in the area, but his low strike is straight at Gavin Bazunu, who saves.
Saints threaten on the break
A sniff of an opportunity, as Saints break up a Palace attack and then release Sam Edozie. He charges through Palace's half and into the area, but gets his pass towards Adam Armstrong in the centre wrong and ends up playing it behind his teammate, allowing the hosts to clear.
Second half gets under way
We're off again at Selhurst Park, as both teams look to earn that place in the fourth round.
James Ward-Prowse celebrates his equaliser 📸
Half time: Crystal Palace 1-1 Southampton
We're level at the break, after James Ward-Prowse cancelled out Odsonne Édouard's early opener.
Doucoure off target from distance
A low shot from Cheick Doucoure from 25 yards out, but he drags it a couple of yards wide of the post.
Ward-Prowse levels the match
Saints equalise, in slightly strange circumstances. They earn a free-kick in a deep left position following the Joel Ward foul on Joe Aribo, and James Ward-Prowse's in-swinging delivery travels over everyone before bouncing past Vicente Guaita and into the far top corner. A stroke of luck perhaps, but just what Saints needed!
GOOOAL!!!
James Ward-Prowse (37’) | 1 – 1
Yellow Card for Joel Ward (Crystal Palace)
A caution for the Palace skipper following a bad challenge on Joe Aribo.
Ward-Prowse tests Guaita
Saints get a free-kick just outside the left corner of the area. James Ward-Prowse whips his effort over the ball and towards the near-post corner, but Palace keeper Vicente Guaita dives to his right to push it away.
Off the bar from Palace
Almost a second for the hosts, as Michael Olise delivers a wicked ball across the face of goal, but the sliding Jordan Ayew can only turn it onto the bar from inside the six-yard box.
Édouard opens the scoring
Odsonne Édouard takes a pass from Wilfried Zaha in stride and races into the box before finishing past Gavin Bazunu.
GOAL
Odsonne Édouard (13’) | 1 – 0
Zaha causing problems again
Michael Olise produces a spectacular pass to find Wilfried Zaha on the left. He cuts inside and tries to bend a shot into the far corner, but it deflects off Lyanco and goes behind for a corner that Saints clear.
Ayew appeals for a penalty
A pretty weak case as Jordan Ayew goes down in the box under a challenge from Romain Perraud, but referee Darren Bond rightly waves it off and play continues.
Saints setting up in a back four
Nathan Jones has his side in what looks like a 4-2-3-1 formation from the start. Lyanco is operating at right-back, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles alongside James Ward-Prowse in deep midfield. Sam Edozie is on the right side, Adam Armstrong on the left, and Joe Aribo through the middle, behind Ché Adams.
Zaha shot blocked by Lyanco
First real moment of danger from either side so far, as Wilfried Zaha drives into the box, but his left-footed shot across goal is blocked by a sliding Lyanco.
