Southampton reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a routine victory over Wolves at Molineux.
A Danny Ings goal from close range and Stuart Armstrong’s neat late finish secured a win that ended a run of four consecutive defeats.
While both managers made significant changes to their sides from the weekend, Saints coped better and showed greater fluency to deserve to progress.
The quarter-finals will be played on the weekend of 20 and 21 March.
