Burnley 0-1 Southampton: Danny Ings strikes early as Ralph Hasenhuttl's men pick up for first points of the season

Southampton’s Danny Ings pushed his claims for a first England start by scoring at former club Burnley to earn his side their first points of the season.

Ings, who spent four years at Turf Moor until joining Liverpool in 2015, exposed a depleted Burnley defence to cleverly fire Saints ahead early on.

The in-form striker’s two caps have both been off the bench but he’ll expect to be included in Gareth Southgate’s squad announced next Thursday and will hope to be in the XI for at least one of their games against Wales, Belgium or Denmark.
