Southampton Resurgence Continues With Draw Against Palace

Southampton’s recent resurgence continued on Saturday as they played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Both teams were riding high after their wonderful Boxing Day wins, but the first half was an ill-tempered affair. Max Meyer’s 15th-minute strike was ruled out by VAR as Wilfried Zaha was caught offside and Crystal Palace looked frustrated for much of the 45 minutes.

The second half was calmer and produced both goals as the visitors broke the deadlock when James Tomkins (50) nodded home
It was then a rare mistake from Martin Kelly that allowed Danny Ings through to score the equaliser (74) as Southampton extended their unbeaten run to three games.
