James Ward-Prowse pulls off the rescue act as Southampton claim an important point against the Eagles.

Saints were made to work hard as their opponents gave them little time or space in key areas and were an obstinate proposition to solve.

A nice move down the wing coupled with intelligent positioning from JWP was enough to take a share of the spoils. The match was hardly a show of technical brilliance, but there is plenty to take from a hard-fought draw.

That said, sit back and take it easy as we examine the three key takeaways from Southampton’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
