Southampton Player Ratings: Wolves (A)

Southampton’s run of three straight league defeats came to an end with a 1-1 draw at Wolves in a game dominated by VAR.

The match consisted of two disallowed goals, a contentious penalty and some great chances for both sides.

Wolves had their first goal disallowed after half an hour when Raul Jimenez rounded the onrushing Angus Gunn and slotted into the empty net, but the striker was adjudged to have used his hand in controlling the ball.

Despite some decent spells of Southampton pressure, it was the hosts that thought they took the lead again. This time it was VAR that ruled it out for a Jimenez offside in the build up to Patrick Cutrone’s finish following Gunn keeping out the initial effort.

It was Saints that eventually took the lead when Danny Ings capitalised on some slack Wolves defending with a calm finish past Rui Patricio.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side equalised soon after from the penalty spot when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg brought down Matt Doherty before Jimenez coolly finished.
