READ SOUTHAMPTON VERDICT
Ings was superb for Southampton and at the heart of everything that good going forward in the second-half. He made clever runs into the channels to open up the play by dragging the Watford defence out wide, allowing for midfielders to have more space to make third man runs – leading to winning a free-kick for the second goal.
He created a great chance for Shane Long just before he scored himself, as well, showing that he can be unselfish in front of goal. For his strike, he busted a gut to beat the goalkeeper and defender to the ball before smashing it into the net – what a player!
