Probably the best performance of the season.
First half we came out all guns blazing and despite being robbed by VAR, continued to get at them and play some excellent attacking football. Scored 2 good goals and should've had more.
2nd half Southampton stepped onto us and we didn't have the quality to get out at times. They completely overran us, but we were dogged defensively. Southampton on that form are one of the best pressing sides in the division, so it was pleasing to see that we held out and saw the game off.
We're way too far behind to stay up, but it's good to see us getting our identity back and looking like we belong. Does make you wonder 'what if' had we been able to get the new players in at the start of January though.
