Harwood-Bellis heads second half winner as Southampton climb to fifth | OneFootball

Southampton beat Derby County 2-1 at St Mary's to rise from sixth to fifth in the Championship.

Carlton Morris put Derby ahead in the 38th minute, turning in from close range after a corner. After the restart, Léo Scienza levelled from the centre of the box (62.), teed up by Finn Azaz.

Ryan Manning's set piece then found Taylor Harwood-Bellis, whose header found the bottom corner (69.) to complete the turnaround for Saints.

Early on, the visitors threatened, but Saints' goalkeeper kept them in it with smart stops, and the hosts increasingly took control after the break.

Saints saw 61.6% of the ball and registered 15 attempts, forcing six corners as pressure built. Derby mustered nine attempts and two corners.

Azaz later went off injured, with Shea Charles introduced (75.).

Next, Saints host Blackburn Rovers. Derby face Oxford United.
