Southampton fans absolutely loved Ryan Bertrand’s throw in at Bournemouth

Bournemouth 1 - Southampton 1

The south coast derby between Bournemouth and Southampton ended in a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon.

Ryan Fraser put Bournemouth into the lead, from an Andrew Surman assist, three minutes before half-time.

Southampton levelled things up just after the hour mark as Nathan Redmond set up Charlie Austin for the equaliser.

The Saints can score again!

Both sides will be relatively happy with a point apiece. Bournemouth are now five points clear of relegation.

Southampton bounced back from the late defeat at Manchester City with a battling point.

And, with Charlie Austin amongst the goals it feels like the Saints can score again.

Ryan Bertrand hogs the headlines!

Southampton left back Ryan Bertrand undoubtedly produced the moment of the match and it came from an innocuous throw in, deep into injury time.

Bertrand looked to play the throw-in down the line, but managed to loop it up in the air and was lucky enough to retake it.

The former Chelsea left back then joked with the Bournemouth crowd that his woeful throw-in was in order to time waste the few precious seconds for the draw.
