Sorry, yes indeed. Puncheon curls in a delicious cross towards the back post and Rickie Lambert rises high above the hapless Rafael to power his header past Anders Lindegaard. Van Persie earning his wages!
2-1 Saints now - Jason Puncheon almost scored a third and was involved in both their goals. Great left sided player. Never did this for us - I guess it is just a matter of confidence and having the opportunity to play.
It's going to be an interesting season with sides many thought would struggle very much looking at home in this division.
Saints off the hook after their stupid defensive play - Van Persie too clever by half with his penalty attempt. Woy is there - crowd shouting "Lambert for England". Perhaps a good replacement for Andy Carroll?
"Lambert for England" is the chant from the St Mary's stands. Why not? If Jay Bothroyd is an England striker, so is Rickie Lambert.
2-2 Van Persie. My heart is with Saints (as a boy I used to go to some of their home games at the Dell), but a draw or loss certainly suits us better.
Injury time winner for RVP and a hatrick, were off the bottom and hes the captain of my fantasy so it means double points for me. Shame about the penalty miss.
