Watford 1-3 Southampton: Premier League – Saints Player Ratings
Just days after the disappointing defeat at home to Arsenal, a rejuvenated Southampton comfortably turned over Watford at Vicarage Road on Sunday afternoon.
A Danny Ings masterclass in finishing provided a potent sting, which was ultimately too much for the Hornets to deal with. The in-form striker registered a brace, whilst James Ward-Prowse scored one of his trademark freekicks to seal the match.
Although Watford did score, albeit through a Jan Bednarek own goal, they never posed a serious threat as they struggled to break down a compact Saints defence. Southampton’s extraordinary away record continued and with some harder fixtures looming, Hasenhuttl can relax knowing that safety has been all but secured.
