The Saints extended their unbeaten streak to 17 games with a 2-1 victory over fellow play-off contenders Derby at St Mary's, thanks to second-half goals from Leo Scienza and Taylor Harwood-Bellis. The match saw the hosts come from behind after Carlton Morris' early strike.
Despite being forced into an early change due to an injury to Bobby Clark, Derby showed promise but ultimately fell short. The Saints' victory was marked by a strong team performance, with Scienza and Harwood-Bellis scoring crucial goals.
The win solidifies Southampton's position in the Championship, leaving them unbeaten since January 17.
