Southampton vs Coventry Player Ratings
Southampton
Willy Caballero (0/10): Made two superb saves to see Southampton through. Good with his collection.
Valery (6/10): Was decent going forward. However, nearly cost Southampton a goal in the second half.
Lyanco (5/10): Didn’t do much wrong. However, he was taken off early in the first half due to an injury.
Stephens (6/10): Got skinned early in the game, however, grew into it and managed to make a strong performance.
Livramento (7/10): Surprised to see him subbed off when they needed a goal. He was crucial with his runs in behind.
Diallo (8/10): Was always on his toes with the challenges. Managed to win crucial balls high up the pitch.
Ward Prowse (6/10): one of his poorer games of the season.
Small (6/10): Not quite the first-team debut Small would’ve been looking for. Was hooked off at half-time.
Adam Armstrong (3/10): Poor outing from Adam Armstrong. He was another one hooked off by Hasenhuttle at halftime.
Shane Long (0/10): Surprised that Long survived for the entirety of the match. Was ineffective in pretty much every aspect.
Theo Walcott (5/10): Had a really good chance to score in the first half. Was hooked early in the second.
Substitutes:
Redmond (6/10): Came on early in the first half. Had his moments but overall very underwhelming.
Kyle Walker-Peters (9/10): Came on with real attacking intent. Scored the extra-time winner.
Stuart Armstrong (8/10): Scored an absolute peach of a strike to bring Southampton level. The goal was one for the ages.
Borja (8/10): Didn’t overly trouble Moore, but troubled Salter. Nevertheless, the lively carrying the ball.
Oriol Romeu: NA
Coventry
Simon Moore (6/10): Made a brilliant save in the first half to deny Walcott. Couldn’t have done anything with the two goals.
Hyam (6/10): Started well. But, ran his race going into the extra time.
Rose (7/10): Really good front foot defending from Rose. Managed to leave a mark on several Southampton players.
Clarke-Salter (6/10): Did an absolute job on Adam Armstrong. However, struggled at times to deal with Broja.
Eccles (6/10): Never once shied away from making those forward runs. Could have done better with the deliveries.
Hamer (7/10): Decent showing from Hamer. Had the intent to win the ball in the first half.
Sheaf (6/10): Stayed on for the entire 120, unlike his starting midfield partners. Got knackered in the end.
Bidwell (7/10): Was part of the midfield overhaul in the second half. Played well but was nearing a second yellow.
O’Hare (7/10): O’Hare was a whole lot to deal with for the Southampton defense. He was a constant threat on the break.
Gyokeres (9/10): Gyokeres continue their hot form. The Swedish international opened the scoring in the first quarter of the game.
Maatsen (7/10): Came close to scoring twice in the first half. Worked his socks off throughout the game.
Substitutes:
Shipley (5/10): Standard 5 for Shipley. Struggled to create the same impact Maatsen had defensively.
Waghorn (3/10): Came on with unreal luck. Got two really good chances but failed to convert either.
Kane (5/10): Did his job taking Coventry to the extra time. Unlucky with conceding the second goal.
Allen (5/10): Brought on to recreate the defensive impact Hamer had. But struggled to keep the hold of the ball.
