It was a real scrap in the rain on a saturated pitch at St Mary’s with both teams creating chances, particularly in the latter stages, slugging it out like two boxers looking for the knockout blow.
The late KO didn’t come though as it ended in an honourable draw in the Premier League.
Southampton took a somewhat fortuitous lead when Davinson Sanchez slid a cross into his own net off the post on 15 minutes but we responded quickly when Harry Kane headed home PL goal 99 from Ben Davies’ corner three minutes later. Eric Dier also struck the post.
