The interchanging of positions from Saints is what produces a lot of their chances and produced the goal tonight.

Nice ball from Djenepo who drifts centrally from wide with Armstrong.

Interchanging of positions produces another goal
The front four that Saints use constantly exchange passes and positions and that causes so many problems for the opposition.
Creating openings against a solid Wolves defence and midfield had been hard up until the 58th minute when Theo Walcott scored his first goal back at the club – created through superb attacking movement once again.
Above is our tweet one the goal that explains what happened to give Walcott his tap-in:
- Moussa Djenepo pings a lovely pass out to Che Adams and drives infield from a wide position to join Stuart Armstrong
- Adams and Walcott have pulled out wide and our occupying the Wolves full-backs, ultimately causing confusion
- The space this creates allows Adams to drive the ball across the box, Walcott finds his own space with Wolves right-back Nelson Semedo now unsure who he should be marking
This movement is making Saints a great team and will continue to create goals throughout this season if they use it well.
