THE FANS’ VERDICTS

SAM COX (freshsaints.com)

We were lucky not to fall behind in a painful opening 20 minutes, but substitutes Danny Ings and Mohamed Elyounoussi gave us more of a threat in the second half. The draw was a fair result and gives us a platform from which to build.

There were concerns we might be tired after our game in Istanbul but this was a performance full of energy. Only a goal was lacking. Southampton only put us under pressure in the last 15 minutes, when they threw caution to the wind.
