Traore is the next man to go into the book as he drags down Tella on the left.
90' +1
Barring a minor miracle, Armstrong's goal confirms the visitors' place in the quarter-finals as the fourth official indicates there will be four minutes of added time.
90'
S. Armstrong has scored a goal for Southampton! Assist by N. Tella.
GOALLL!!! 2-0 SOUTHAMPTON! Dendoncker puts Ruddy in all sorts of trouble with a horrible pass backwards. Tella dispossesses the goalkeeper, fakes to shoot and then opts to unselfishly roll in Armstrong. Saiss retreats to defend on the line but Armstrong composes himself to place a right-footed finish into the back of the net off the right-hand post.
Tella appears caught in two minds but eventually opts to tee up Armstrong, who doubles Saints' lead late on in this cup tie.
89'
There was only ever going to be one man to take the set-piece. Neves ponders his options before wandering up to the free-kick, striking it straight into the wall, who do their jobs by standing tall and jumping to protect Forster's goal.
88'
Oriol Romeu gets yellow.
Romeu hacks down Neto, offering the hosts a free-kick in a great position, 25 yards out from goal in the centre of the park. For his cynical efforts, Moss also books Romeu.
87'
N. Tella enters the game and replaces M. Djenepo.
Djenepo, who conveniently finds himself on the opposite side of the pitch, takes an age to make his way to the touchline after being substituted. Tella is the man to replace him.
83'
C. Adams enters the game and replaces D. Ings.
Scorer of the first and only goal, Ings, wanders off and Adams takes his place up top.
82'
Armstrong has an important job to do in these closing stages, given that Neto looks like the hosts' brightest spark down their left-hand side. On this occasion, Armstrong executes his defensive duties perfectly, recovering well to tackle the Portuguese forward before clearing long.
81'
Hoever invites Bertrand to tackle and, after beating the full-back, crosses towards the front post. Salisu, perhaps aware of his mistake a moment ago, hurries his clearance and mishits it out of play for a corner to the hosts.
Minute
Description
78'
The Saints move it quickly, launching a counter-attack through Ings and Armstrong. The latter reaches the right of goal but his right-footed effort gets blocked by Kilman before it can trouble Ruddy in the Wolves goal.
77'
Hoever overlaps Traore and fires a high cross towards the back post, where Walker-Peters takes the sensible option, heading away from goal with Neto breathing down his neck.
75'
The left-hand side of Hasenhuttl's defence has looked indecisive throughout this cup tie. On this occasion, Bertrand carelessly gives away possession deep inside his own half and Salisu, fortunately for the visitors, glides across to deal with Neves before he can cross for Neto.
74'
Ward-Prowse whips in the inswinging corner and, after a few little touches at the near post, Romeu's flick cannons into Kilman and rolls through to Ruddy. The visitors appeal for handball but there is nothing in that, given the centre-back was around a yard away from the Spaniard.
73'
There is acres of space in front of Redmond, who travels down the left before attempting to cross to Ings. Despite it looking like a decent pass, Wolves turn it behind for a corner.
72'
Bertrand twists and turns, working hard to keep possession deep towards the byline in the left-hand channel. The left-back fails to keep it but Romeu is on hand to rush across and intervene. Neves then exchanges some choice words with referee Moss before play resumes.
69'
Pedro Neto enters the game and replaces Vitinha.
Consecutive corners come for the hosts as Armstrong's ambitious shot gets turned behind for another corner. On the second occasion, the ball falls to Armstrong again on the edge of the area but he scuffs his shot into the hands of Ruddy.
Nuno sends on another of his attackers, this time it is Neto who is charged with getting his side back in this game. He replaces Vitinha.
66'
Neves, perhaps frustrated with his side's performance as of yet, speeds across to clatter into Djenepo. Unsurprisingly, Moss awards the visitors a free-kick, which Bertrand sends long for Djenepo to chase.
64'
Willian José enters the game and replaces Fábio Silva.
Silva, who cuts a frustrated figure as he trudges off, is replaced by new signing Jose.
63'
Adama Traoré enters the game and replaces M. Gibbs-White.
Traore is the first man introduced by Nuno and he replaces Gibbs-White.
Salisu comes racing across to guide a throughball out of play for a corner to the hosts. Play will wait though, as Wolves appear to be making some changes before taking the set-piece.
62'
Ings winds up to shoot from inside the left-hand channel but he underhits his effort and it tamely rolls through to the hands of Ruddy.
59'
M. Gibbs-White gets yellow.
Gibbs-White goes down in the middle of the park with Ward-Prowse appearing to foul his opposite man. Moss is unconvinced, however, as he books Gibbs-White for simulation.
58'
Silva thinks he can coast past Salisu and, to the forward's credit, he races past the young centre-back with relative ease. After doing all the hard work, Silva then needlessly fouls Ings, who had tracked back to do his defensive duties in the right-hand channel.
56'
Gibbs-White thinks he has just the goalkeeper to beat after some nice play by Silva to release the Englishman. Unexpectedly, Salisu comes out of nowhere, recovering well to slide tackle and avert the danger before Gibbs-White can pull the trigger.
53'
Moutinho clips a set-piece over the top but, once again, Saints hold their line to catch multiple players offside. When will Wolves learn what the visitors are going to do?
52'
K. Walker-Peters gets yellow.
Walker-Peters takes a heavy touch and, perhaps attempting to make up for his initial mistake, clatters into Silva with a sliding tackle. Referee Moss feels he has no option and shows the right wing-back the first yellow card of this fixture.
49'
D. Ings has scored a goal for Southampton!
GOALLL!!! 1-0 SOUTHAMPTON! VAR indicates Ings is onside so the goal, after being ruled out, now stands. Initially Bertrand had rolled Ings in before the striker’s first shot was saved by Ruddy. The rebound ricocheted off Ings and into the back of the net in lucky fashion but he will not mind!
47'
Ward-Prowse overhits a pass towards Bertrand and the left-back does well to keep it in play. However, Hoever manages to box Bertrand in in the corner and Wolves regain possession.
46'
R. Aït-Nouri enters the game and replaces Jonny.
The players have made their way back out after an underwhelming first-half performance and referee Moss gets the second half underway!
Jonny, who has only just returned from injury, lasts 45 minutes before being brought off at half-time for Ait Nouri.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: WOLVES 0-0 SOUTHAMPTON
45' +2
Armstrong goes roaming inside the left-hand channel, drawing in Hoever before feeding Bertrand. The left-back reaches the byline, drilling a low left-footed cross towards Ings at the front post. Saiss steps in to intervene and deny the striker but Moss sees it differently, awarding the goal-kick instead of a corner to the away side.
45' +1
Due to numerous injuries and Vitinha's lengthy treatment, there will be three minutes of added time as this game slowly heads towards the half-time whistle.
43'
Hoever invites the tackle of Djenepo and Southampton's midfielder duly obliges, fouling the right wing-back in the right-hand channel. Moutinho and Neves stand over the set-piece but it will surely be the former who takes it.
42'
Tons of space opens up for Gibbs-White, who coasts down the right-hand channel before attempting to find Silva at the back post. Bednarek does well to mark both Vitinha and Silva, dropping back to intervene and head away inside his own area.
40'
Hoever intercepts on the edge of his own area and carries possession all the way up to the halfway line, where he is then far too ambitious in trying to skip past Bertrand. Unsurprisingly, the left-back's experience shows, as he takes a step back and shelters the ball out of play, despite Hoever's best efforts to get around him.
38'
Moutinho hovers over a set-piece in the left-hand channel of the visitors' half. When the Portuguese midfielder does deliver, Ward-Prowse is on hand as the first man to head away in front of Silva.
37'
Ward-Prowse, after catching Silva moments earlier, now smashes into Vitinha, leaving the hosts' attacker on the floor once more. In fairness, neither tackle has looked like it had much in it and it appears the home side are trying to get the Saints captain in trouble. Nevertheless, Moss isn't buying it as he insists play carries on.
35'
Silva is the next man to go down, rolling around on the floor and tapping the ground in pain. The initial collision was with Ward-Prowse but it appears the Wolves forward has exaggerated his pain, as he requires no medical attention before play goes on.
33'
Both sides are moving the ball from side to side, remaining patient as they look for an opening which has not come as of yet. In the last few minutes, it has been the hosts' turn to slowly move it around but their attacking phase breaks down as Moutinho needlessly fouls Ings, who had come deep inside his own half to do his defensive duties.
27'
The visitors build from the back, slowly making their way forward in a somewhat methodical manner. Eventually, their hard work comes undone as Walker-Peters carelessly gives possession away, inviting the hosts to counter-attack down the left, where Salisu comes across to intervene and give away a throw-in.
20'
Surprisingly, Ward-Prowse sends his inswinging corner over the heads of all of his team-mates and out of play for a goal-kick. For once, the set-piece specialist lets down his colleagues, who were ready and waiting inside the area.
19'
Armstrong has acres of space to drive into in front of him and initially his attempt to offload to Redmond gets blocked. The rebound falls back to Armstrong, whose left-footed effort then gets deflected behind by Kilman for a corner.
18'
Bednarek towers above Moutinho, clattering into the back of the Portuguese midfielder and leaving the Wolves man on the ground. After a quick check of the back of his head, Moutinho gets back up, carrying on with the game without requiring any medical attention.
16'
An ambitious pass over the top nearly puts Ings through on goal but Ruddy is quick off his line, chesting outside of his area to Saiss before collecting the loose ball moments later.
14'
Hoever and Gibbs-White alternate with passes between each other before the latter reaches the byline, where Salisu steps in to smartly head away in front of Silva in the area. The hosts' right wing-back then swings in a bouncing cross for Silva; however, Bednarek gets across well to hook away a clearance.
11'
Salisu is once again hurried at the back, this time by Silva pressing the back four. Eventually, the centre-back plays backwards but the warning signs are there for Hasenhuttl and the Ghanaian, who is stepping up to first-team football in this FA Cup tie.
10'
The opening stages have been dominated by the Saints, with Hasenhuttl's men pressing high and refusing to let their opponents escape their own half. However, the scores remain level as the visitors search for that important first goal.
7'
Bertrand rushes his shot from the resulting set-piece in the area, missing the ball entirely. The rebound falls to Armstrong, whose shot gets blocked behind for another corner.
6'
Hasenhuttl's men surround Ruddy inside the six-yard area as they wait for Ward-Prowse's delivery. When the captain does swing his cross in, the home side's goalkeeper punches away and Southampton get another corner on the same side.
4'
Bertrand exchanges a one-two with Armstrong but Saiss reads the visitors' attacking intentions, gliding across to dispossess the left-back before conceding a corner against Djenepo on the left-hand side.
3'
Salisu is far too slow in possession, taking his time to find Bertrand and the centre-back is lucky Gibbs-White just misses the interception deep inside the Saints half. That should be a warning sign for the young defender in this FA Cup tie.
2'
Bednarek sends Ings chasing a long pass over the top in the early stages, however, Ruddy is out quickly to claim the loose ball and sweep up the danger.
1'
Referee Jonathan Moss blows his whistle to get this FA Cup tie underway!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the FA Cup fifth-round tie between Wolves and Southampton at Molineux Stadium.
WOLVES (3-4-3): John Ruddy; Maximilian Kilman, Romain Saiss, Leander Dendoncker; Ki-Jana Hoever, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Jonny; Vitinha, Morgan Gibbs-White, Fabio Silva.
SUBS: Nelson Semedo, Owen Otasowie, Willian Jose, Luke Cundle, Rui Patricio, Pedro Neto, Conor Coady, Adama Traore, Rayan Ait Nouri.
SOUTHAMPTON (4-4-2): Fraser Forster; Ryan Bertrand, Mohammed Salisu, Jan Bednarek, Kyle Walker-Peters; Stuart Armstrong, Oriol Romeu, James Ward-Prowse, Moussa Djenepo; Danny Ings, Nathan Redmond.
SUBS: Caleb Watts, Jack Stephens, Daniel N’Lundulu, Che Adams, Nathan Tella, Ryan Finnigan, Kgagelo Chauke, Harry Lewis, Jannik Vestergaard.
Since neither side is involved in the Premier League relegation battle, it is likely both teams will prioritise this FA Cup fixture. The visitors, who sit 12th in the top-flight table, most recently lost away to Newcastle United, while Wolves played out a goalless draw with Leicester City to remain in 14th.
The players are wandering out the tunnel and shortly it will be time for kick-off.
Nuno may call upon his attacking trio off the bench sooner rather than later. Traore, Neto or Jose could give the hosts a different option, as they currently appear incredibly impotent up top. Hasenhuttl may be happy with his side's effort, however, the Austrian will be demanding them to be more clinical when the opportunities arise in front of goal.
That is all from this FA Cup tie, until next time!
The hosts, who disappointed in this cup tie, sit 14th in the Premier League and their next fixture sees them face tonight's opponents, Southampton. Hasenhuttl's side are 12th in the division, two points above Nuno's men with a game in hand. Saints will also find out their quarter-final opponents later today.
