  • 3' GOAL! Ezri Konsa scores on 3.
  • 8' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 8 minutes.
  • 12' A meaty challenge results in booking for James Ward-Prowse on 12.

  • 20' Jannik Vestergaard adds to his 0 season tally! Southampton FC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ralph Hasenhuttl might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 29' Aston Villa FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Trezeguet is hanging Bertrand Traore on the field on 29 minute.
  • 33' Magnificent from James Ward-Prowse! That is 55 goals in 348 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 38' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
