LONDON — Championship side Derby County hit back from two goals down to beat Premier League Southampton on penalties in an FA Cup third-round replay marred by another disputed VAR decision on Wednesday.

Southampton appeared to have booked an away tie at Accrington Stanley when Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond scored within two minutes of each other midway through the second half at a sparsely-populated St. Mary's Stadium.

Just as they did in the first match, however, Derby hit back to level at 2-2 with Harry Wilson and Martyn Waghorn taking the game into extra time.

After a scoreless 30 minutes Derby shone in the penalty shootout, scoring all five of their penalties while Redmond put his effort over the crossbar. Derby captain Richard Keogh's effort sealed Derby's progress.

Derby had been unlucky not to take the lead in the first half when Craig Bryson slotted past Angus Gunn only for referee Anthony Taylor, after a delay of several minutes, to rule out the goal because of an offside against Waghorn during the build-up. Even television replays failed really to show whether Waghorn had been on or off.

Following is the revised FA Cup fourth-round draw after Wednesday's replay: Swansea City v Gillingham AFC; Wimbledon v West Ham United; Shrewsbury Town v Wolverhampton Wanderers; Millwall v Everton; Brighton & Hove Albion v West Bromwich Albion; Bristol City v Bolton Wanderers; Accrington Stanley v Derby County; Doncaster Rovers v Oldham Athletic; Chelsea v Sheffield Wednesday; Newcastle United v Watford; Middlesbrough v Newport County; Manchester City v Burnley; Barnet v Brentford; Portsmouth v Queens Park Rangers; Arsenal v Manchester United; Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur. Ties to be played Jan. 25-28. — Reuters
