Forward Azaz pounced on a quickly taken throw-in during the first half to slam home the only goal of the match at St Mary’s. A cagey start was punctuated by a pair of strong saves at either end by Peretz and then Vladan Kovacevic. Southampton’s Israeli goalkeeper Peretz smartly got down to his right to deny a thumping effort from Anis Ben Slimane. It was the first goal the visitors had shipped away from Carrow Road since the end of January. Peretz was forced into another save 12 minutes into the second half when he denied a snapshot from Slimane.
