Strikers and Substitutes
Danny Ings, Striker – 7
What a surprise – a clinical finish for the game’s opener just before half-time that gave the goalkeeper no chance. But then a genuine surprise with a miss from the penalty spot.
We can probably forgive him though, let’s be honest.
Shane Long, Striker – 6
Not his best game by any means and will need to step it up if he is to start ahead of Adams next season.
Che Adams, 1st Substitute – 7
Got into some good positions after coming on and got his just rewards with a late second goal for Saints. Two goals since the restart will hopefully give him the boost he needs before next season.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, 2nd Substitute – N/A
Provided fresh legs for the final 13 minutes but only had 14 touches of the ball.
Michael Obafemi, 3rd Substitute – N/A
Set up Adams’ late goal to confirm the win but not enough time to get involved otherwise.
