James Ward-Prowse scored for Southampton against Everton in the Premier League at the weekend.
Southampton got the better of Everton 2-1 at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Ward-Prowse scored the opening goal for the Saints just five minutes into the second half and had an overall good game.
The 24-year-old England international midfielder took three shots, had a pass accuracy of 76.5%, and made one tackle, two interceptions and three clearances, according to WhoScored.
According to WhoScored, Ward-Prowse made seven starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Saints so far this season, scoring two goals in the process.
Redknapp has praised Ward-Prowse and hopes that he gets a run in the Southampton team now.
Redknapp wrote about Ward-Prowse in The Daily Mail: “I’m delighted that James Ward-Prowse is thriving under Ralph Hasenhuttl. His excellent display against Everton highlighted all his best attributes.
“He is a tireless worker, running 7.5 miles – the furthest of anyone on the pitch – has a good passing range and strikes the ball so sweetly. He deserves a run of games in the Southampton side.”
Fighting for survival
Southampton are still in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season, but things are looking up for the Saints.
The Saints are 15th in the Premier League table at the moment with 22 points from 23 matches, three points above the relegation zone.
