If Stoke City's time in the Premier League is to expire after a decade, they certainly won’t be going down without one hell of a fight.
Their manager Paul Lambert was Antonio Conte-esque in his animated touchline encouragement at St Mary’s, whipping up the vocal travelling support to endlessly chant his name.
On the field, his players — and especially goalkeeper Jack Butland — produced a spirited rearguard action against a second-half Southampton onslaught to earn another point for their survival bid.
It was a fourth draw in six matches since Lambert took over from Mark Hughes and, though they remain in the relegation zone by a point, there is a defiance about them.
