Nottingham Forest beat Wolves 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw and will take on Manchester United in the other semifinal. But ut was Southampton who produced the shock of the round against City. First-half goals from Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo allowed the hosts to set aside worries about their relegation battle and provide their fans with a reason to celebrate. Eight-time winners City was the overwhelming favourites to progress to the semi-finals after dominating the competition in recent times, lifting the trophy on six occasions in the last nine years. However, Southampton moved a step closer to the final at Wembley with the most impressive win yet since manager Nathan Jones was appointed in November.
