But they recover as Ings wins it

Danny Ings could have been forgiven for thinking that it was not going to be his and his team’s day after going close to scoring on a number of occasions and seeing a penalty denied.

As Che Adams exchanged cleverly in the middle of the pitch and gave himself space to find a pass through the home defence though, Ings was alert as always.

He timed his run expertly and sped towards goal before poking the ball between the advancing Kasper Schmeichel’s legs.

Saints are now looking up the table with just six points between them and the top five, whilst Ings is heavily tipped to be looking at an England squad space very soon.
