FA Cup on Betfair: Black Cats prowl into last eight

Sunderland beat the odds as they get past Southampton to make the quarter-finals of the Cup…
Sunderland are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup as a remarkable season continued on Wearside today. 
Already in the Capital One Cup final, but residing in the bottom three of the Premier League, Sunderland were underdogs despite playing at home to Southampton.
And, in a close match, it took a moment of dead-ball class to break the two Premier League outfits with Craig Gardner stroking a 25 yard freekick past Kelvin Davis on 49 minutes. The Englishman was backed at a high of 25.024/1 to open the scoring. 
That Davis was playing at all surprised some observers with both Mauricio Pochettino and Gus Poyet choosing to make significant changes to the teams that started their last league matches.
Sunderland are 18.017/1 to lift the FA Cup this year.
