In the first half, the two teams played dull. In order to ensure that the entire team was not injured, Coach Adkins also constantly asked the players to reduce physical confrontation and pass the ball more.

But even so, Southampton's Henderson was knocked to the ground by a Lech Poznan player during the attack and suffered a slight fracture of his arm. He was unable to play for at least a month.

Coach Adkins really gets what he fears the most.

Fortunately, Southampton's bench is still deep enough, and Schneiderlin was immediately replaced.

Fortunately, Van Dijk was more powerful and made several key interceptions, which prevented the score from expanding.

But Southampton can only go so far.

Blackpool was originally a Premier League team. In the last league, it fell to the English Championship due to being at the bottom of the points. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Blackpool is still very strong in the English Championship.

Therefore, Blackpool is better than Swansea. It only lost 9 goals to Southampton in one game and was not kicked into double digits by Southampton.
