News about Romain Perraud

Blackpool 2-1 SOUTHAMPTON - ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT ST MARY'S: Southampton defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup fifth round after beating Championship tense Blackpool 2-1. Nathan Jones' side defeated them thanks to two goals from left-back Romain Perraud. Mick McCarthy took over the Seasiders' first game since being boss last week, and it was a disappointing effort.

HEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 2-1 NEWCASTLE - CRAIG HOPE AT HILLSBOROUGH: It's been announced that Eddie Howe's second FA Cup Third Round loss to League One opposition will be forgotten soon. This is a tie that will live long in the memory for Sheffield Wednesday and two-goal match-winner Josh Windass. The Owls forward had only scored six times this season before the start of this week. But after a treble in a 5-0 victory over Cambridge United on Monday, he continued with a deadly double here, and how a raucous Hillsborough loved it. Romain Perraud of Southampton was the last player to score against Newcastle in early November. Since that target, they had gone almost ten hours without compromise, ranking third in the Premier League in the process. Windass netted twice in 14 minutes after halftime, and on each occasion it looked straightforward.

West Ham manager David Moyes has sluggishly chastised officials for losing three points in his 1-1 draw with Southampton on Sunday, arguing that Tomas Soucek should have received a "definite penalty" and that Romain Perraud's goal should not have stood. Through Perraud, the Saints stole a pass destined for Bowen, preventing the Englishman from getting to the ball. Bowen at the time pleaded for action to prevent Perraud from scoring with a shot from outside the box seconds later that put his team in front.

Declan Rice's second half curler earned West Ham a point at Southampton, taking out Romain Perraud's tumultuous early opener to divide the points at St. Mary's. Peraud put the Saints in front after just 20 minutes after Tomas Soucek failed to clear Che Adams' cut back, but the Hammers believed Peter Bankes interfered with Jarrod Bowen's defensive efforts. Rice eventually received an equalizer for his team, teaming well with Said Benrahma to unleash a fine curled effort from outside the box to snatching a point for the Hammers, but the Hammers were relieved as Rice finally gave them an equalizer.

With United's defense standing strong in the face of late Southampton pressure, Bruno Fernandes' goal made the difference between the two teams. From a sunny, late August afternoon at St Mary's, Sportsmail takes you through the player ratings from the afternoon.
