Saturday 16th January, 2010

Attendance - 13,431

Southampton face a really tough task here as The Den is a very hard place to go, especially as Millwall are doing so well in the League! Make no mistake about it though, Saints have a chance of winning today!

How they line up...

Selection changes...
-Jones names an unchanged side from the team that beat Walsall on Wednesday.

The match...

Rickie Lambert had to go off after picking up an injury...Marek Saganowski replaces him.

Moments later the first goal of the game went to Millwall from a Corner. Marange misjudged the flight of the ball and it came straight to Robinson who had an easy finish. 1-0 to the Lions.

Southampton then got their heads down and got one back just minutes after the opener. Dan Harding's throw in went straight to Schneiderlin who had loads of space to slide through a great through ball for Marek Saganowski to perform a real goalscorer's finish before Millwall knew too much about it! 1-1.

Then just 2 mintues later Saints got another! From a Dan Harding Corner Schneiderlin put real pressure on Millwall Defender Alan Dunne who bottled it and scored an own goal in the air off his head and into the net. 1-2 to the Saints who are really ontop at the moment.

Saints then had a David Connolly goal questionably ruled out my the linesman who by the way finished emphatically.

Southampton look great and deserve their half time lead.

Second Half...

Penalty awarded to Millwall...Price scores it, 2-2.

Then on 83 mintues, Nathan Tyson beat the offside trap to meet Morgan Schneiderlin's excellent lofted-through ball to score! Millwall 2-3 Southampton! Less than 10 minues to go!

Tyson puts it away to win it for Saints and to get his 12th League goal of the Season!

The Full time whistle goes and Southampton go away with a much worked for 3 points today!

Full-time player performances...

How it finished...

Man of the Match...

Morgan Schneiderlin(CM)

He really was amazing today, he assisted 2 goals and was pretty much part of every attack we made.

So here's the League Table after our fantastic Victory...

-I am delighted with that result as we are now just 1 win off the bottom Play-offs place! Wahoo :P Let's hope we can get a result when Swindon come to St. Mary's! Last time we lost 4-2 at their ground if you remember...:P
