GLOVERS CUP RUN ENDED BY FORMER ARGYLE YOUNGSTER

Yeovil Town's latest FA Cup run came to an end against Southampton, partly thanks to a player born around 60 miles from Huish Park.

Saints starlet Sam Gallagher- who was born in Crediton, and was formerly with Plymouth Argyle-scored Southampton's second goal of the tie on 70 minutes, after Guly Do Prado had given Mauricio Pocchettino's men the lead in the 23rd minute from the penalty spot.

It was Gallagher's first senior for the Saints who he joined in 2012 from the Pilgrims, despite interest from Everton and Newcastle, following in the footsteps of another ex Argyle prospect Jack Stephens.

Gallagher had made his debut for Southampton earlier in the season in their Capital One cup fourth round exit at the hands of Sunderland.
