James Ward-Prowse hits stunning goal to steer Southampton past Everton

19 January 2019 05:29
James Ward-Prowse’s thumping drive sparked Southampton’s 2-1 win over Everton. The England midfielder’s second goal in as many league matches set up consecutive top-flight victories for manager, Ralph Hasenhüttl. Lucas Digne put through his own net for Saints’ second as they shook off their midweek FA Cup loss to Championship side Derby. Gylfi Sigurdsson’s neat finish set up a fraught finale but Saints held on for a thoroughly deserved victory.Hasenhüttl sat Ward-Prowse down before the turn of the year and told him to “toughen up” to maximise his talents. The fruits of that heart-to-heart and Hasenhüttl’s high standards are clear: two Ward-Prowse goals and two league wins – following the 2-1 victory at Leicester last weekend and now this hard-fought triumph over the Toffees.
