Southampton are yet to have a shot on target in the game as they are finding it difficult to play around the Villa defence. They are lacking creativity in the attacking areas of the pitch and therefore losing possession in poor ways and making it easy for the hosts to regain the ball.

The game started slowly for both teams as they struggled to find the quality needed in the final third to score a goal. Aston Villa slowly grew into the game and pushed for an opener while Southampton could not break down the home side’s defence. The deadlock was broken just four minutes before the break and Ramsey put home the rebound from Watkins’ header, with the ball striking the crossbar three times in the build-up.
