    Rickie Lambert, Grant Holt, and Andy Carroll tend to grab the headlines, and although their goals proved pivotal to their respective teams’ ability to compete in the Premier League, Southampton, Norwich and West Ham each survived because they could rely on goals coming from a range of sources.

    For Norwich, they arrived from Pilkington and Morison. For Southampton, Rodriguez, Puncheon, Schneiderlin and Ramirez, each contributed more than five goals each. And for West Ham, midfielder Kevin Nolan actually outscored his Geordie teammate with ten Premier League goals.

    This is just one of a number of lessons drawn from Southampton's experience of surviving in the top flight that feature in my Premier League Survival Guide. Thanks for reading previous installments - you can read the final part below. Let me know what you think.
