Last updated : 13 April 2005 By Sam
Southampton, leading 1-0 from the semi final 1st leg, got off to a good start in front of a big crowd at Molineux when David McGoldrick fired them into a tenth minute lead to take the aggregate score to 2-0.

Saints looked to be cruising into the final until twenty minutes into the second half when Thomas Stewart pulled a goal back for the home side.

Wolves substitute Jordan Fitzpatrick levelled the tie with just eight minutes remaining to take the game into extra-time.

Mark Davies gave Wolves a 3-2 aggregate lead with just eight minutes of extra time left but Leon Best brought the score back to 3-3 with just two minutes of the game remaining.

So, with the scores still level at the end of extra-time the game was decided on penalties which Southampton won 5-4.

Southampton will now play Ipswich Town in the final - the Suffolk side having beaten Tottenham in the other semi-final.

Wolves: Hennessey, Little, Rafferty, Taylor, Riley, Davies (capt), Musson, Gleeson, Stewart, Cornes, Collins. Subs: Fitzpatrick, Shepherd, Bennett, Hughes, Ferran.

Southampton: McNeil, Richards, Critchell, Rudd, Craine, James, Walcott, Sparv, Best, McGoldrick, Dyer. Subs: Wallis-Tayler, Jones, Condesso, Dutton-BlackLallana.
