    A win from behind - check
    A strong defensive performance to keep the lead - check
    A confidence boosting goal for Adarma - check
    All the new signings looking good - check
    Steak for dinner - check
    A BJ for afters - oh well, there's always the next match

    He's also constantly directing traffic at the back. Even often when he's the primary defender.

    Who knew that the leader we needed in defense was a 20 year old.

    ABK, what is this boy going to be worth when Fofana is going for £70 million plus??

    Bella-Kotchap is my new favourite player

    Che was brilliant up front

    Adam Armstrong brilliant

    Lavia so good- hopefully back soon

    JWP’s energy at the end was ridiculous!

    I think saints did given that I am sure there were articles at the time (I think on the OS) about how he had played more games than you would expect for a central defender of his age

    Saints have picked up 7 points from losing positions…

    Are they going to start dropping that stat soon? Or will we always hear about dropped points regardless

    Wow, they looked drained at the end but didn't panic when defending at the end.

    Hope Romeu doesn't go if Lavia is out long term.

    He certainly stepped up in the second half but was anonymous in the first like normal

    Fantastic result. I think Chelsea actually played better than United did on Saturday but this time we managed to find the net. Lavia was walking round the pitch with the others at the end without any noticable discomfort so hopefully it's just a twinge. I've got to say we look so much more solid with a good GK and ABK alongside Salisu. Chuffed for Adam as well. He deserved a goal tonight. Moussa is turning into something of a cult hero very quickly.

    I think the latter. But even if they do they'll always have the 9-0's to fall back on sadly.

    Not sure I’d go quite that far, but I’d say he’ll end up at least as good as VVD.

    Expecting a lot of plastic fans to be saying that they always liked Saints. Their second team. Where were they when we were rubbish?

    Anyone got any other foreign languages up their sleeve for the Wolves match thread?!

    Surely only fair it's in Portuguese...
