Shrewsbury Town suffered late heartbreak as they bowed out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle after an undeserved defeat to League One Southampton.

Town looked to have done enough to earn a replay at the Greenhous Meadow with the scores goalless heading into three minutes of injury time.

But late strikes from substitute David Connolly and Adam Lallana ensured the League One side advanced.

Shrewsbury, disciplined and well organised throughout, enjoyed their best spell at the end of the first half with Dean Holden twice going close.
