The Saints came from behind to secure the win, cancelling out Carlton Morris' earlier strike and extending their unbeaten run to 17 games. Despite a strong start from the hosts, Derby initially took the lead when Morris scored from a deflected corner.
However, Southampton's persistence paid off as Scienza curled in a brilliant finish before Harwood-Bellis headed in the winner from a Ryan Manning free-kick. The victory marks a significant milestone for the Saints, who remain unbeaten since January 17. Meanwhile, Derby's loss is a setback in their play-off hopes, with manager John Eustace looking to regroup and push for a strong finish to the season.
