Quite comfortable but Arsenal have it in them to surprise and score. If Saints nicked a second I'd not be surprised.

Saints so much on top that 1-0 is not really a good reflection. Sheffield are bound to get at least one more reasonable chance though so don't make it easy by giving away stupid free kicks that let them lump it into Saints box.

Potter mans up and takes it on the chin. Sky Sports labouring the penalty to the point of distraction.

The foul deserved to be punished with a penalty. In fact I'll say it denied a clear goal scoring chance - should be a red card. 😉

A win on a Monday night. Go to be happy with that.

Not a great performance but a handy 3 points.

Yet again Saints fannying around in midfield. Give it away again.

Now nick a third please.

Yes.

Inside the box surely.

Saints looking exposed in defence again. Often happens when giving it away in midfield.

Are we really going to rely on offsides when defending free kicks?

A bit more work on defending wide free kicks might be in order.

Good time to score. Going in level after that first half is a bonus. But the ref's giving Brighton everything.

I'd get Djenepo off now. We need to keep 11 men on the pitch.

Saints attacking free kick results in a corner to them.

Well Saints have been pretty poor. Maybe that'll wake them up a bit.

Why wasn't that Saints free kick in added time pumped up towards the corner flag? Or even, dare I say, into the penalty area? Instead we give it away and hey-presto. Walcott was making runs into space behind their defence all 2nd half and I can't remember once Saints midfield getting their heads up ready for a pass in behind.

Thought we'd need three.

Saints look knackered.

Really need to do something about losing points from leading positions.

Midfield need to get their heads up and look for runners in attack. They are there. Instead the ball is just given away again.

Better hope for a point now. Vest played them all onside.

Had to happen. Expecting trouble now.

Losing the ball in midfield yet again. Just pass the thing.
