For this draw, Southampton fans can also find something to celebrate - after all, after this draw, Southampton's points reached 100 points, officially joining the ranks of the 100-percent club in the English Championship.
With five league games to go, they are just six points away from the record.
Southampton fans are celebrating, and Southampton players have begun preparing for the Europa League.
Lambert is gearing up for the next game. After the last game, he thought he was the top scorer. After all, he had tied Rossi's number of goals. However, in another game, Porto's Colombia
Striker Falcao also scored a hat trick, raising his goal tally to ten and suppressing Lambert again.
So Lambert hopes he can score a few more, after all, he is in good shape now.
Amid the cheers from the St. Mary's Stadium, the players from both sides came out - the starting lineup was exactly the same as the previous game. No substitutions were made, whether it was Southampton or Villarreal, proving that this was indeed theirs.
The strongest lineup.
The two sides entered a state of close combat from the beginning of the game - after all, they had only met once a week ago, so there was nothing to test.
And from a tactical point of view, Southampton still uses offensive tactics. Villarreal also wants to score a few more away goals to even out Southampton's advantage, so the two sides started a fierce confrontation from the beginning of the game.
attack!
Southampton's offense is open and wide, while Villarreal's offense is much more delicate - fully demonstrating the characteristics of this league.
Even if Southampton is relatively delicate among English teams, they are still an English team.
Their players rarely keep the ball at their feet for too long. They pass the ball quickly after receiving the ball, and then complete the response through a lot of running. Except for Chamberlain, who ran a little more after receiving the ball,
The other players are quick to get the ball and the pace is very fast.
Villarreal wanted to work hard to stabilize the rhythm and play slower.
In such a competition, time passed quickly, and amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Southampton took the lead in scoring!
Lallana passed the ball directly to the front of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Lambert turned and passed diagonally, and then advanced into the penalty area. His running attracted enough attention. After receiving the ball, Chamberlain directly sent an overhead ball.
Giroud, who was inserted in the row, unloaded the ball from his chest and followed up with a powerful shot, hitting the ball into Villarreal's goal!
Giroud rushed to the stands, then turned and hugged Lambert.
"Well done!" Lambert shouted to Giroud.
"You attracted enough attention!" Giroud replied.
Lambert burst out laughing. He also has a bit of a big brother demeanor. Although he really wanted to score goals, when he saw that the opponent was focusing on him, he immediately began to change his strategy - he knew that he had scored goals in the past two seasons.
More, because his teammates have given him enough support, and now that he is being targeted by the opponent, of course he must let his teammates get more opportunities.
Ji Ya clapped his hands hard. These two forwards can be said to be Southampton's most powerful scoring tools. No matter how well they do elsewhere, in the final analysis, they still rely on forwards to score goals. Without forwards, there will not be a lot of goals.
ball.
He is lucky to have Lambert, who has been in excellent form in the past two seasons, and Giroud, who looks inconspicuous but is very useful.
You must know that in Kiya's mind, Giroud is even more useful - not because of anything else, but when he bought Lambert, the scouting guide told him that he could buy Lambert, but Giroud didn't.
It requires a bet to sign...
It shows that Lambert was able to buy Southampton due to its attractiveness at the time, but Giroud was a player who required extra efforts on his part to sign.
Whichever one is more difficult should be stronger!
The game restarts.
The two sides continued to struggle on the field, with Southampton passing the ball and Villarreal passing the technique.
Technology can provide certain advantages, but if you want to solve problems, you must have a breakthrough point.
This explosive point is the scoring point - this is also the key to why excellent attackers are always more valuable. The defense and midfielder guarantee the lower limit, and only the player who scores the goal can complete the final result.
After Southampton took advantage through running, they relied on their two big centers to score goals, while after Villarreal created a certain advantage through technology, they needed to rely on their forwards to score goals.
This is when the striker needs to break out.
Rossi dropped back to get the ball. Now Southampton is paying close attention to him dropping back to get the ball. After all, his skills and speed can also play a big role in the deep position.
Dembele was very energetic and went up to him, but Rossi did not struggle with him. In the last game, Rossi already knew how difficult this Belgian midfielder was, so he quickly kicked off and sent a beautiful shot.
A through ball!
The diagonal Cazorla received his through ball in the penalty area!
Seeing that it was difficult to stop Cazorla from attacking the goal, Lovren was forced to risk stealing the ball, but directly brought down Cazorla. The referee's whistle sounded, and Lovren received a yellow card and a penalty kick.
Southampton fans booed loudly, but the referee remained unmoved. Rossi stood in front of the penalty spot and scored in one fell swoop!
"The ball went in! Rossi's tenth goal! He calmly scored the penalty kick into the blind spot. Although Navas judged the direction correctly, it was still a little short! But now Villarreal still needs a goal.
The ball will do..."
A top player who becomes more courageous as he fights can often change a lot of things - Rossi is not considered a top player overall, but his performance this season is undoubtedly top-notch.
In the past few years at Villarreal, he has been able to steadily get playing opportunities, and his physical condition is also quite good. When he was able to score double-digit goals in the first two seasons, this season, the 23-year-old
Rossi finally had an explosive moment.
He has now scored eighteen goals in La Liga, ten in the Europa League, and the next is the eleventh!
Before the end of the first half, Nirma broke through and was brought down by Drinkwater. Villarreal won a well-positioned free kick. Rossi took the penalty and the ball drew a beautiful arc and passed over the opponent.
Wall, hanging directly in the dead center of the goal!
Navas was almost stunned as he looked at the ball bouncing in the goal - this was the first time he had encountered such a wonderful free kick...
"Now it's Southampton's turn to be in danger! The total score is 5 to 4, and Villarreal is leading away from home! What will they do in the second half of the game?" the ESPN commentator murmured to himself.
