🎥 Remembering when perfect Ward-Prowse helped Saints stun Chelsea 🎯 | OneFootball

Southampton are once again back in the Premier League, but no one knows for how long as Saints sit bottom of the table with the Christmas period looming.

But seeing that the giving season is nearly upon us, here is a vintage James Ward-Prowse free-kick special to remember in the run-up to a St. Mary's meeting with Chelsea.

The last time Saints welcomed the Blues to the South Coast in a top-flight clash, Chelsea were sent packing thanks to a sublimely hit dead-ball.

A curled stoppage-time effort into the bottom corner, beating Kepa Arrizabalaga, was the difference maker in front of home support.

It was one of many Ward-Prowse specials that will be remembered fondly in those parts despite his departure to West Ham United last season.

Even though Saints are struggling in 2024-25, fans will be hoping for a similar result on Wednesday to improve their chances of remaining at the highest level in England.
