Only six years ago, Southampton were facing Dagenham & Redbridge in League One but last night, the Saints enjoyed their biggest ever victory in Europe, defeating Inter Milan 2-1.
Plenty has occurred in that six-year period with Inter winning the Champions League under Jose Mourinho before paling into obscurity in Serie A.
As for the Saints, last night’s key victory now means that qualification to the knockout rounds is now firmly within Claude Puel’s sides’ grasp, sitting second behind Sparta Prague as things stand.
A game that pretty much had everything, there was some dodgy refereeing, a missed penalty, grappling in the penalty area and a fine Southampton comeback that was totally justified.
Sitting ninth in the Premier League right now as well as qualifying for the last eight of the EFL Cup where they will face Arsenal, Claude Puel has overseen a promising start to his Saints career.
It really is the case that no matter who they lose from the management hotseat or players out on the pitch, Southampton truly do march on as their motto states.
Without further ado, here are the FIVE things we learned from Southampton’s famous 2-1 victory over Inter Milan last night.
