Review
We are outside of the Relegation Zone, and still in the Premier League survival fight! With just three games to go (Chelsea, Arsenal and Palace), and with Everton getting a hugely unexpected win earlier in the day, this was a must-win game. We already beat Southampton at their ground earlier in the season and finally got a much-needed double this season with this amazing game. Two-up after 20 minutes with a Taiwo Awoniyi brace, we let Southampton back in the game on the 24th minute. We went two-up again with a Gibbs-White penalty before letting Lyanco score with a just 5 second-half minutes gone. A Danilo screamer gave us yet another two-goal cushion before we let them back in at AGAIN with a last-minute penalty from Ward-Prowse before hanging on at the death for the three points. This puts the ball back in our court...we can still survive!!!!
