Southampton produced a dramatic comeback to claim all three points at Swansea City.
Earlier, Finn Azaz’s cross was glanced on by Léo Scienza for Southampton’s opener. Sainstmarching.com’s ratings highlighted strong displays in a 4-2-3-1.
Flynn Downes, booked, was withdrawn at half-time. Cameron Archer came on with two minutes left and met Caspar Jander’s cross at the death.
In goal, Daniel Peretz earned 7/10 for two saves from three shots, though his long distribution wavered. James Bree, 7/10, spent much of the match on the front foot after a Charlton loan, while Taylor Harwood-Bellis took 8/10 with four aerial wins and six clearances.
Nathan Wood, 7/10, was steady against his former club. Ryan Manning, 6/10, had plenty of the ball but little end product beyond a clever pass for Jander.
Jander 9/10 was outstanding in and out of possession. Kuryu Matsuki 7/10 drove much of Southampton’s best play with six crosses and two shots.
Azaz 7/10 nearly met a Ryan Manning cut-back, then erred late in midfield. Ross Stewart 6/10 lacked punch and turned down a first-half shot.
From the bench, Shea Charles 8/10 impressed, Cyle Larin 7/10 contributed and Archer 8/10 stood out, with Sam Edozie and Jack Stephens not rated.
Southampton are one point behind Millwall and Ipswich with three Championship matches remaining. Ipswich have a game in hand and visit St Mary's, a fixture that could shape both clubs.
