With the composure of a prolific forward, Sarr lifted the ball beyond McCarthy and put the visitors in front with his first Premier League goal since signing for the Hornets in August. The battle of the basement duo was rapidly becoming a test of their respective goalkeepers, and former QPR man McCarthy had to be at his best to deflect the ball away from Sarr two minutes later - who surely would’ve scored from close range. Sarr drilled an effort narrowly over the bar, before a penalty appeal went against the hosts after Foster appeared to bring down Ings, having slipped on the ball inside his own six yard box. Ten minutes later, the hosts should have levelled when the Republic of Ireland striker was picked out by Ings from close range, and having beat Foster saw Craig Cathcart make a desperate clearance off the line. Moussa Djenepo left Jose Holebas for dead inside the box, drew out Foster and set up Ings - who bundled home his seventh Premier League goal of the season to the relief of St Mary’s. That goal reinvigorated the hosts and the fans were left rocking five minutes later when Ward-Prowse’s free kick from the edge of the box beat Foster, who got a fingertip to the ball but could not keep him out.
