Rishi Sunak was amongst the jubilant St Mary's crowd to watch his Southampton team extend their unbeaten run to 17 games and ramp-up the pressure on Ipswich and Leicester in the hunt for automatic promotion.
The PM could perhaps learn a thing or two about leadership from Russell Martin whose popularity ratings are at an all-time high amongst a once sceptical Southampton fanbase.
Goals from Carlos Alcaraz and Che Adams gave Martin's side their fourth win a row and no side in English football can match Saints' form - they last tasted defeat on September 23rd.
