    |The fourth away win of the season and certainly the most complete win if the season. Two excellent goals and a clean sheet, what more could you ask for. Oh yes and Danny Ings was rested. Saints can win without Danny even starting! Instead the front three this time was made up of Redmond, Adams and Obafemi. Adams and Obafemi (who scored the first goal) were tremendous and gave everything. When the inevitable happened and both Obafemi and Adams tired, on came Ings and Boufal.

    There was another impressive performance from Armstrong, who at last is showing the potential that his reputation at Celtic suggested.

    All in all, a very satisfying afternoon's work

    |Two wins either side of Christmas Day, what more can we expect now? Another Home win on Saturday??

    Hopefully over the next few days I will begin to get on top of the outstanding reports, now that Saints have remembered how to win games.

    Adams had a very good game (but still no goal) and got a huge hug from Hasenhüttl at the final whistle
