Ings was on fire before the Coronavirus suspension but it seems he has not lost that goalscoring touch despite a three-month break.

The striker produced a wonderful finish to open the scoring against Norwich on Friday and took his Premier League tally this season to 16 – meaning he is still well in the race for the golden boot.

He is also important for Saints in other ways though – he showed his defensive qualities on a number of occasions at Carrow Road and also assisted Stuart Armstrong for the second goal of the afternoon.

The motivation to claim a top-half finish and the Premier League’s top scorer crown could be the perfect combination of factors to drive Ings on to yet more goals in the last eight games of the season.
