Southampton 8 Sunderland 0. Biggest Premier League win for Saints ever. Mark Lawrenson (BBC Pundit) predicted a draw! lol

16 May 2014

Southampton 6 Aston Villa 1. The fastest Premier League hat trick in 2 mins 56 secs by Sadio Mane

As we've never played let alone beat an Italian Serie A team please forgive this. What a great night.


Southampton V Inter Milan;Europa League:Game played 3/11/16.

Saints 2 Inter Milan 1smiley - biggrin
Saints line up:Forster.Martina.Yoshida.van Dijk.McQueen.Højbjerg
Romeu.Ward-Prowse.Tadic Sub for Davis at 77'mins.
Redmond.Rodriguez Sub for Austin at 59'mins.

Perhaps the biggest game Saints have hd since 1976? To think 7 years ago they played Dagenham and Redbridge in div 1, and now were playing the glamour of Italian Football.

Saints started well and had 65+% possession but Inter score first through Icardi in 33' mins. Then Inter were adjudged to have given a penalty due to hand ball. Icardi was seen digging the penalty spot. McQueen went to stop him and hd an elbow in the face, The Ref gave a yellow card. Should be an automatic RED. Then Tadic hd the penalty saved. Half time Saints 0 Inter 1.

Saints started the second half full of energy and willingness to score. Eventually despite being held bodily by Inter on several corners Saint scored from a corner via Vigil van Dijk on 64' mins.

Then via an own goal from Nagatomo at 69' mins, Saints took the deserved lead. Saints now lie second in group K, and need 3 points to go through
