What a difference 78 days makes. Southampton consigned the pain of their 9-0 thrashing by Leicester earlier in the season with victory courtesy of a late goal from Danny Ings following a performance which illustrated the huge strides they are making under Ralph Hasenhüttl.
When Dennis Praet opened the scoring for Brendan Rodgers’ side in the 14th minute, the travelling supporters must have feared a repeat of their nightmare at St Mary’s at the end of October. But having equalised soon after through Stuart Armstrong’s deflected shot, a 14th Premier League goal of the season for the striker who is quickly gaining cult hero status on the south coast nine minutes from time left their Austrian manager cavorting on the touchline in celebration.
