makes three changes to the side beaten at Manchester City on
Wednesday. Tara Clem team, misses out as a precaution
after being stabbed with a knee problem.
Solly March and Pascal gross. Both dropped to the bench
income Leandro, trostle after illness
and Neil mode' who spent the last three games on the bench.
He's going to eight League games without a goal. It looks
like a back for
for Brighton today.
And a back forth to st. To wholesale changes made by Ralph
Hassan huckel six in total after Thursday's underwhelming
performance at Burnley, liver a Mentos and Sally Sue back in
defense. Tell it and Redmond recalled in Midfield
and a new front pairing of Shane long
and Shea atoms, which we certainly didn't expect just
a second League start of the season for long who's never
scored against the sea gulls.
So why we go Southampton looking to win here at the MX
for the fifth visit in a row in all competitions. It is
one of their favorite venues
and they may well fancy. Their chances given
brightens woeful home form.
They failed to even score
in their last five home
matches could garea,
really bright start from Bright and lovely into play in
passing. See a great ball in by Cucaracha and the goalkeeper
still
easy finish. That was for Danny Welbeck.
Hardly any time has elapsed at all, spelled by Fraser Forster.
I'm just this dog that breaks it wanted in front inside 90
seconds. What a horrible goal for Southampton to concede.
Well, the reaction of Fraser Forster, says it all. He has no
idea where the ball is
across and I think it's Alice who just gets in his way
makes a real hash of it. Neither player deals with. It's
a really good run from Danny Welbeck, you gets across
the face,
perhaps, it's because they do
it gets across The face of service who causes Mayhem and
there is Welbeck, just a total of all in
great. Start for Brighton.
So much for not scoring in five home games in a row. They
didn't take long to end that miserable run
his fourth goal of the season
and the sixth time. He's netted against Southampton in his
career
liberman show.
Now, James ward-prowse. Can he deliver here long?
And if anyone can put it on his forehead, it's James
ward-prowse.
Adams, lot of space here for Tina live event. Oh,
Couldn't resist, lining it up off the post Adams?
What a chance to tuck it in.
He stuck out a leg and didn't make contact with the ball.
Huge chance to equalize.
Well, unbelievable piece of play from Southampton. I mean,
I just felt that livramento could have taken this a bit
closer. So I thought well drive at cooker are but he opted to
shoot
the deflection on to the post. No chance for Sanchez and chat.
You Adams who had already gone to ground.
Just couldn't get up and deal with it. There. He goes to
ground and it bounces back off of Sanchez. He just can't react
as a fraction away from putting that in, is over the last
decade or so, they met in ligue 1. As recently as
2011.
There was a bit of a rivalry going Mo pay.
All the way through more wet puttu, Welbeck
for staff Harris behind for a broken Corner.
Second corner.
And done
scores. Does he know the flag is out?
Was clearly
offside. Here, Neil moped, but just another indication.
Of the threat that Brighton carry from set-pieces. I mean,
it's really good. Play from liver, a mentor who comes off
that post. That's a key area that you're going to stay on
the post. The moment, the balls going past, you have to get up.
Otherwise you playing every player on side and
Southampton do that really effectively.
It's got to play /ok
is done well to make that offer an AO
ChaCha.
Pastor name again and Welbeck,
force it over the line.
And I think there may be a foul in the middle of that but Mo
plate kicking straight through the back of Salas was really
poor play for me from Shane long. He's got loads of time to
turn play forwards,
the plays it to romão who's in,
not in a great position to receive it little bit of luck
there, but clever,
drag back from trois odd,
and that challenge there from Opa, really clatters through
the back of
Silas suit.
Just here, as he's about to clear the ball. Just kick
straight through him.
Is Danny Welbeck, very nearly getting second of the game
initially
great rather. What a pass to trust our as well.
Beautiful from Welbeck, and there's no return.
Well, nevermind, who scored it. Savor the build-up play because
Danny Welbeck, here
has produced
a truly Sumptuous moment in the build-up. That was sensational.
Absolutely, right. Gary.
And even though this is an own goal
in my mind. This is firmly. Danny Welbeck skull was
brilliant playing the build-up but it doesn't stop there. You
gets forward
all game. I mentioned a moment ago Salas. Ooh and bednarik
just have a beat at the races in this match at all. They're
not coping with what brightness throwing it them. It's a nice
ball from trois odd.
They just don't react well enough to
well Beck's run.
Who has to get something on the ball salads. Ooh.
Not like this,
and it's all about the presence of Welbeck that forces. The
mistake is brilliant paid from Brighton, but Southampton fully
deserve to be punished. Again
really does lift the crowd and, and make the game far more
entertaining.
Now, Cella, was he brought down there by Cucaracha. I think
that was a clever foul. Wasn't it?
Knew that he'd been turned and gets the yellow card.
Look at Sanchez at trying to get that wall. Absolutely inch.
Perfect for prowls.
He's done it again.
Well, it's almost like a penalty when he puts the ball
down, outside the box,
Unstoppable changelog, trousers Hall. Southampton right back
into this contest
with a trademark free kick. Well, look at this little shift
just to the left hand side
of Sanchez.
That's what throws him. It's not trusting. His wallet is
almost anticipating James. Ward, press to hit that ball
over the wall into that open side,
and he Doesn't cover the side,
which is his responsibility.
It's a decent free kick from James ward-prowse. It is
a brilliant. It's On Target. It's a big tick in the box. But
the Brighton goalkeeper should be saving that in my opinion,
straightaway signal of intent from Southampton romão
little reverse ball. It's long, couldn't get the shot away
before the challenge came in
and he was offside anyway.
Romeo warp Rouse,
what's a strike?
So whole 72 level
more crowns at the Double with two ripe for the crackers. And
from to kneel down,
Southampton a back at Choo-Choo. The away and has gone wild.
Well, what a brilliant piece of play
from
romão super back. He'll just a disguise. This pass. I mean,
they had a warning sign. A moment ago. It's a poor give
away from Webster. You cannot lose the ball, the straight. Is
there in that area? The pitch from then on
this is really nice play.
This little faint, hear that little Jack. They're just too
James, ward-prowse.
Perfect weight, from Romeo
and James Wolpert as well.
He does the rest. I mean, technically is a Super Ball Striker
and that is executed brilliantly. What a strike from
James ward-prowse.
Well, you questioned Sanchez, quite rightly for the first
one. I don't think the goalkeepers got any chance of
saving that one. That's an Exquisite hit, isn't it? And
the familiar gold shot celebration
from the Southampton captain.
Sallis, who heads forward
Adams long.
Oh, and Sanchez makes the save to deny Shane Long.
Well, it's now Southampton starting to dominate physically
in the air. They've won the last few, headers a nice run
around him from
teller, that just takes the defender away.
Shame on trying to curl that one into the top corner.
Midway through the second, half wall, proud of the corner.
Saints. Want another one? It's only a goal. Kick.
He went very deliberately
for that near post area,
brightens. First corner of the second
to be taken by gross.
Razor for two punches straight to March.
So tame effort
by his standards
actually used Walker Peters is a little one, too.
Gross might take it out.
The flag goes up. This will be checked for offside.
He still celebrating unaware.
That the flag is up behind him.
Well, as soon as I saw that ball, get played the first
thing I thought was, it's offside
and take nothing away from the Finish, is a brilliant finish
from from gross. But when you see that freeze-framed, he's
very, very tight. This is certainly
a VAR lines decision.
What a cracking finish just doesn't hesitate gets it on
that right foot.
It's a very close call.
It is being checked. It's very, very tight. And we're at
the stage where they'll be drawing the lines.
That's how close it is.
How often Graham Potter talks about the fine margins. Well,
this is literally fine margins
with red and blue lines.
There's a gaping hole in the Southampton defense. I mean,
they're all over the place in this situation.
Yeah,
a tiny. Margin. I think it's offside.
I mean to the I initially, it did look off-site to me.
Oh little bat killed from romão. Again.
Redmond
Armstrong was in there. It's walk a beat. He's on his left
foot and a site of goal for sure.
It's a definite half. Chances in it.
I mean difficult half-volley on his left for another back, heel
from Romeo.
And this he just Falls to, he's just got to get his head down,
body weight over the ball and he's always off balance when he
strikes it.
Back to James ward-prowse.
Waka peaches for Armstrong,
good ball in head is over.
Well dry your hands. Renee. You both attacked it
Cucaracha. He can cross this
three waiting.
I say those first effort half-hearted handball appeals
their
March
to the byline. Well back.
Comes to Trussell
veltman.
And that's all time and it's a point of peace and not at all
between these two.
Thanks to James ward-prowse has terrific brace, a wonderful
free kick at the end of the first half and then a fabulous
strike. Eight minutes into the second.
Danny. Welbeck had given brighten the lead inside two
minutes and then he's fine, work led to an own goal from
Sally, Sue. Just before half-time. It looked like
Brighton would be heading in
to the break with the 2-nil lead.
Lead, Ralph has some noodles side. Had other ideas and
roared back to take a point. They would have better sign
in the second half. Graham taught is side still without
a home win in 2022, which he will be bitterly disappointed about.
They threw away a two-goal lead here
and it means on the south coast.
It has finished Brighton to
Southampton chief.
