Southampton were left frustrated as Tottenham knocked them out of the FA Cup on Wednesday night.
Tottenham were able to set up a clash with Norwich in the fifth round after a 3-2 win against the Saints, with Heung-Min Son scoring a late penalty to seal the victory.
Despite the defeat, it was a special night for one Southampton player in particular. Defender Jack Stephens made his 100th senior appearance for the club.

He, unfortunately, marked it with an own-goal to put Tottenham 1-0 up, but it was still a great milestone for Stephens to hit in his Southampton career.
Stephens joined the club from Plymouth Argyle in 2011 and made his Premier League debut during the 2016/17 campaign after a number of loan spells in the Football League.
These Southampton fans have been hailing the defender after he hit the special landmark.

Southampton now head into a 10-day break until their next Premier League match. The Saints host Burnley a week on Saturday as they look to bounce back from defeats to Liverpool and Spurs in the last few days.
