Southampton player ratings as late Ladefoged header cancels Welington stunner | OneFootball

Southampton were pegged back for a 1-1 draw at Lincoln as Mikkel Ladefoged struck late to cancel Welington’s first-half rocket. The points were shared at Sincil Bank, the ProAmpac Stadium.

According to Sainstmarching.com, head coach Tonda Eckert needlessly tinkered with his side and the changes blunted Southampton and invited pressure. Welington was withdrawn on 78 minutes.

Welington lashed a left-footer high into the corner a minute before the interval, a 0.02 xG strike from distance.

After the restart, Léo Scienza rattled both posts on the hour and was withdrawn on 63 minutes with Tuesday in mind. Cyle Larin headed off target earlier and saw a breakaway saved on 56 minutes.

Lincoln finally levelled when Ladefoged headed in from close range with three minutes left, the chance measured at 0.59 xG. Nathan Wood had just come on in the 84th minute and momentarily lost his man as the cross arced over him.

Daniel Peretz impressed with four saves and 1.61 goals prevented, though his distribution was 70.7 percent from 41 passes. James Ward-Prowse produced six key passes and hit 97.3 percent of 73 passes, Keven Schlotterbeck led the rearguard with nine duels won and eight clearances.
