Not a popular pick, no doubt, but...
Southampton
Our ability to get through what was a less-than-exemplary collection of performances and pull out a win in stoppage time is what convinced me we were going to go on and win the league. It wasn’t our first (or last) win at the death but the way the players reacted during the match (and at the full time whistle) showed what we are now made of: resilience, belief, togetherness, and grit. When you add those traits to astounding talent and intuitive management you have the recipe for success beyond our wildest dreams.
I still remember the absolute roar and release of anxiety in the stadium when Sterling’s shot went in—I was sat in 322 with a perfect angle to see the curl on the shot so was already jumping well out of my seat before it even made it past the keeper.
