Saints captain James Ward-Prowse struck twice to cap off a superb week for under-fire boss Nathan Jones after guiding his side to a place in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

A group of Everton supporters did their best to disrupt Southampton's preparations before the relegation scrap at Goodison Park by setting off fireworks outside the team hotel in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Despite the fans' best efforts to get one up on Southampton, Everton's players were unable to claim the vital three points needed to pull themselves away from the drop zone.
Following the win, Southampton left a light-hearted Tripadvisor review, claiming the only rocket they noticed was James Ward Prowse's 78th-minute winner.

The review read: "We can't say enough positive things about the Innside By Melia Liverpool! Had an important business trip to attend in the city and they were perfect hosts. The hotel ensured we were looked after and well-rested for our meeting, which was an extremely productive one.
"Rooms were brilliant, beds were incredibly comfy, and the blackout blinds and triple glazing… oh wow! You could literally have a firework display going on outside your window and you'd never know it. Best night's sleep we've ever had!
"In fact, the only rocket we noticed all weekend was the one James Ward-Prowse sent into the net in the 78th minute at Goodison. We'll definitely be returning again."

The review was posted on the club's Twitter account and has been seen by over 2.5 million users.
It capped off a fine day for Southampton who have now closed the gap at the bottom of the table.
Defeats for both West Ham and Bournemouth mean the Saints are now one point away from lifting themselves out of the bottom three, in what looks to be a tight battle for top-flight survival.
