Still, Ipswich Town's Liam Delap nullified that lead quickly within the first half. As has been the case frequently, Southampton seemed prone to concede another goal and leave empty handed.

However, Paul Onuachu ensured that didn't happen yesterday. The Nigerian anticipated the goalkeeper's fumble and sent the Southampton fans joyous after scoring.

On that note, let's discuss each Saint's performance from a big relieving win over the Tractor Boys.

Southampton's player ratings after thrilling late 2-1 win against Ipswich Town

Here, are the match reviews of every Southampton starter against Ipswich Town on a scale of 1-10.

GK - Aaron Ramsdale: 6

Made a string of good saves in a one-on-one situation. Unlucky to not keep a clean sheet on the road.

CB - Taylor Harwood-Bellis: 5

Made a misclearance that resulted in Ipswich Town's equaliser. Later, his miseries continued as he had to be replaced by Jack Stephens.

CB - Jan Bednarek: 4

Dominated by Liam Delap throughout the game. Ultimately, fortunate here to end up on the winning side.

CB - James Bree: 5

Southampton's best centre-back on the night. Made many ball recoveries to support Ramsdale on counter attacks.

LWB - Welington: 6

Hardworking in the defence and never shied away from winning duels. Ivan Juric was spot on to acknowledge Welington's performance, later.

RWB - Kyle Walker-Peters: 5

Operated as a right winger for the majority of the game.

CM - Joe Aribo: 7

A brilliant volley to take the 1-0 lead. Apart from that, played tirelessly on both sides of the pitch.

CM - Lesley Ugochukwu: 6

Provided a helping hand to the defence on multiple occasions.

CAM - Albert Gronbaek: 5

Didn't quite get going all along. Still, his positioning inside the box was commendable on the first goal.

CAM - Mateus Fernandes: 6

Easily the most in-form Southampton attacker at the moment. Got a goal denied last week and provided the deflected assist for Aribo yesterday.

ST - Paul Onuachu: 7
