Jay Rodriguez ends 17-month goal drought

Southampton 1 FC Midtjylland 1

Jay Rodriguez scored his first goal in almost 17 months as Southampton were held to a draw by FC Midtjylland in last night’s Europa League play-off tie.

The England international had been out with a serious knee injury for much of that time and the relief was there for all to see as he emphatically thumped home an equaliser from the penalty spot to secure a 1-1 draw.
