Southampton earned a straightforward win over Shrewsbury in their rearranged FA Cup third-round tie at St Mary's.

The hosts dominated possession and while they were relatively comfortable it took James Ward-Prowse's late free-kick to seal their win.

Southampton will now host Arsenal in the fourth round of the competition on Saturday (12:15 GMT).

Ralph Hasenhuttl had promised to field a side that blended youth and experience for this cup tie.

And he did not disappoint for a fixture that was originally scheduled for 9 January but was moved after a coronavirus outbreak at the League One club.
