Summary
This weekend’s FA Cup featured some very special moments and Musa and Ryan are joined by Aniefiok Ekpoudom to focus on Southampton reaching Wembley for the semifinal (02:29), following their win over Arsenal at St. Mary’s.
Aniefiok is a Southampton fan and was there on Saturday to witness one of the highlights of an interesting season for Saints, in which they are also celebrating 50 years since they won the FA Cup.
They then shoutout Leeds’ penalty shootout win over West Ham (34:29), which saw them into the semifinals for the first time in 39 years, plus big wins for Chelsea and Manchester City (45:44). There’s also chat about Liverpool, plus a quick round-up of some other results from the weekend!
