It has been a difficult season so far in front of goal for Southampton, with the Saints scoring just six times in the Premier League through three different scorers.
Summer signing Danny Ings has been responsible for three of the clubs goals as Southampton find themselves in what already feels like a relegation battle with Newcastle on Saturday.
The visitors currently sit bottom of the table on two points having lost seven of the opening nine rounds, whilst Southampton’s solo win has ensured the club remains outside the bottom three going into Matchday 10.

Possible partnerships at the head of Mark Hughes’ side include forwards Charlie Austin, Shane Long and Manolo Gabbiadini although neither of the three have so far scored.
Outside Ings’ three, midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and left-back Ryan Bertrand are the only players to net for Southampton.
Despite that, the 6 foot 1 Italian who has featured five times off the bench and started just once in the Premier League this season is the forward Saints fans want to begin the Newcastle clash alongside the English striker, as revealed in a recent poll on Football FanCast.
