Back in the 2014/15 season, Saints had been fighting at the top of the Premier League for the first half of the campaign.

They made a move to try and maintain their league form by bringing in Elia and Filip Djuricic on loan deals, and it was the former who undoubtedly made the biggest impact on the South Coast.

One match at Newcastle in particular saw him burst onto the scene with two match-winning goals and combine really well with the other Saints forwards.

Both goals were similar and saw him breaking beyond the likes of Graziano Pelle to hit powerful efforts beyond home goalkeeper Tim Krul.
