Having been winless in their last three games, Southampton went into Saturday afternoon's home clash against fellow south coast side Brighton hopeful for their first win in almost a month.

The Saints had impressed in midweek as they took the lead twice against Leicester City at St Mary's, but couldn't secure a victory over the Foxes with Jonny Evans and James Maddison scoring in reply.

However, with Brighton winless in nine top-flight matches, a run which started back in September, it appeared the ideal opportunity for the Saints to record a fourth league win of the season.

All was going to plan when Armando Broja's cool finish gave Ralph Hasenhuttl's men a deserved 1-0 lead going into half-time, with the score arguably flattering the visitors. However, Neal Maupay's 98th-minute tap-in secured a dramatic point for Albion which saw Southampton lose points from a winning position yet again.

Despite the draw, there was one man who deserved plaudits for the Saints, namely Nathan Redmond.

Today saw the winger become the first Southampton player to register an assist in four consecutive Premier League home games, as well as becoming the first to do so in the English top flight since Kevin De Bruyne in October 2019.

The 27-year-old's flick-on proved vital as Broja latched onto the pass to coolly finish past Robert Sanchez in the Brighton goal in the 29th minute.

Throughout the contest, the £16.2m-rated man was a livewire for the hosts, constantly looking to get the ball forward. In fact, he produced two key passes and had a 63% pass completion rate.

Realistically, the Saints should've had the game wrapped up before the Seagulls' equaliser. According to SofaScore, Hasenhuttl's side managed four shots on target as well as a further six off target and four blocked.

Yet again, it's an opportunity missed for Southampton, but Redmond once again proved his value to the side and will surely continue to be a regular in the Austrian's plans.
