Southampton gained significant ground on Leeds United, Ipswich Town and Leicester City last week.
Kyle Walker-Peters admits his Southampton side were given an extra boost after seeing Leeds United lose against Blackburn Rovers in a warning that the south-coast side remain in the automatic promotion race. Southampton gained significant ground on the three teams above them in a week where they won twice and none of Leeds, Leicester City or Ipswich Town picked up three points overall.
We are still a bit disappointed with how we let Watford back into the game. I don't think it's anything tactically. It's more down to intensity and running. “You take your foot off the gas a bit more when it's 2-0 – we definitely did today, rather than trying to make it three or four. We gave Watford some confidence and got punished. We knew . We were watching it. Regardless, you want to win - but it's an extra incentive. We want to chase the guys ahead of us.
