Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the FA Cup quarter final clash between giant-killers Wigan Athletic and Premier League strugglers Southampton. It has been a season to forget so far for the Saints but remarkably they can yet book their place at Wembley if they can overcome League 1 Wigan in Mark Hughes' first game in charge.

End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL TIME
The Saints are going to Wembley! They seal their place in the semi-final with a crucial display.
Goals from Hojberg and Cedric ensures a win for Mark Hughes on his first game in charge as Wigan's memorable cup run comes to a cruel conclusion.
90'+2
GOAL! Wigan 0-2 Southampton
The Saints break from the hosts' corner and Cedric finds himself in a great position. He makes no mistake by tucking the ball into the bottom corner, beyond the reach of Walton.
Great composure by the Southampton man who grabs his first goal for the club.

End-to-end stuff here at the DW Stadium as Wigan force another corner.
Powell meets Power's deliver and plays it to Grigg but he mis-hits the shot and Southampton scramble clear.
75'
Southampton are on top at the moment and look the more likely to grab the game's all-important second goal.
Two successive Saints' corners are defended well by the hosts and as long as it stays 1-0 Wigan remain in the match.
73'
BRILLIANT SAVE!
Walton guesses the right way and pushes Gabbiandi's venomous penalty away from goal with a strong one-handed save!
Unbelievable goalkeeping.
72'
PENALTY TO SOUTHAMPTON!
Gabbiadini gets goal-side of Burn and the Wigan defender dives in, bringing the Italian down inside the penalty area.
There can be no complaints from Wigan and Burn is booked for the foul.
