    Cedric Soares leads a Southampton counter-attack and plays a ball to Shane Long but, instead of curling a shot into the top corner, sends his effort high into the stands. Sums up the game really.

    Ikechi Anya has caused problems down Southampton's right and he has hit two dangerous balls into the area but they were wasted. Southampton have to match the work-rate that Watford are showing.
