Southampton Player Ratings – Cardiff (H)

Southampton welcomed Cardiff City to St Mary’s Stadium, hoping to take all three points and pull away from the relegation zone.

But Neil Warnock’s men had other plans. Sol Bamba gave the Welsh side the lead before Jack Stephens equalised in injury time. Just as fans thought the spoils would be shared, Keneth Zohore scored a winner with 94 minutes on the clock to send Cardiff fans into hysteria.

The game was preceded by a minutes silence, a mark of respect for the tragic loss of Emiliano Sala this past week.

The result puts Southampton level on points with Burnley, and deep in the mire of a relegation battle and could end the weekend in the drop zone.

Ralph Hassenhuttl opted for Shane Long upfront to replace the injured Danny Ings, whilst Ryan Bertrand made his long-awaited return to the fold, coming in in place of Matt Targett at left wing back.
