Yesterday afternoon, Southampton rolled out arguably their most complete performance of the season, winning 1-0.

After a poor display at home to Watford last weekend, it was important that Saints proved everyone wrong when they traveled to Selhurst Park on Saturday to face a Crystal Palace side who were once again under new management after four consecutive league defeats without a goal.

Saints were 1-0 victors in the end with Steven Davis’ early goal separating the two sides in what was arguably the best performance of the season.

Unfortunately, Davis doesn’t make the fold despite a good performance as always but who does contributor Dan Hargraves think Southampton’s best players were in the match?
