Flahavan hoping to prolong fairytale

CARLING CUP hero Darryl Flahavan celebrated Southend’s stunning success over Manchester United and roared ‘Bring on Chelsea or Arsenal’.

The Shrimpers goalkeeper was the inspiration behind his side’s amazing win at Roots Hall on Tuesday night, producing a hat-trick of fine saves to deny Cristiano Ronaldo as Southend recorded their greatest ever triumph.

With Coca-Cola League Two outfit Wycombe already in the last eight, there is a real possibility of a semi-final place on offer if Saturday’s draw is kind to Steve Tilson’s men.
