Decisive figure preserves Coventry City's point at Southampton

Carl Rushworth turned the game in the 58th minute with a sharp low save, anchoring Coventry City's 1-1 draw at Southampton.

After the restart, the goalkeeper set the tone by getting down smartly to a driven effort (58.), steadying his side while they played with ten men.

He stayed busy as Saints pressed, parrying a close-range strike (80.) and then tipping away another rising effort (86.).

In the second minute of second half stoppage time, he pushed out a skidding shot. In the third minute of second half stoppage time, he claimed cleanly to end the danger.

He finished with seven saves, plus a high claim and a punch, as Saints produced 23 attempts, seven on target, to test his handling and positioning throughout.

Coventry City remain top of the Championship. They host Swansea City next. Saints visit Oxford United next.
