Southampton 2-2 Derby (3-5 pens): FA Cup – Player Ratings
By Erik Franzo
Strikers and Substitutes
Shane Long, Striker – 6.5
Should have gotten on the score sheet, twice, but good hold up play today with positive runs into the box. Took a beating, including a cut on his knee, and will likely be rested with Austin and possibly Ings returning Saturday.
Nathan Redmond, Substitute Attacking-midfielder – 7
Huge impact as a substitute and scored a nice goal, chipping the goalkeeper 1 on 1. Should have sealed the game in extra time but smashed it into the keeper’s chest instead. A clear difference maker on the pitch, and will likely be forgiven for his penalty miss, but it was not a good one.
Sam Gallagher, Substitute Striker – 5
Tried willingly to make an impact and was given a lot of time to do so, but nothing came off.
Callum Slattery, Substitute Attacking-midfielder – 6
Was positive fresh legs in extra time. Played an advanced role, and did not have a run at goal, but got his head up and helped drive the ball forward late.
Matt Targett, Substitute, Outside-back – N/A
Came on as the 4th substitute in extra time. Delivered a quality penalty as the 4th taker.
