After drawing their previous two games, the need for a win felt crucial for Southampton if they were to keep up the chase on Leicester and Ipswich at the top of the table and challenge for an automatic return to the top flight. They dominated the opening half but struggled to really challenge the Blackburn defence. Armstrong bent a curling effort towards goal that went wide, Will Smallbone had a good chance saved by keeper Leo Wahlstedt, while Armstrong felt he deserved a penalty after some man-handling from Hayden Carter in the box.

"The game totally changed after the red card and being a player behind against a Premier League side is difficult. We were still in the game after the first goal but after the second booking the game is over. "Callum apologised to his team-mates in the dressing room immediately. A game where we could have got something out of it at 1-0, then suddenly the game is over.

Saints finally took the lead right before the break through Edozie, who managed to get a crucial touch among a host of bodies in the box to bundle in from close range from a corner. Blackburn's afternoon got worse when Brittain was shown a red for a second booking of the afternoon and Saints capitalised. Armstrong saw a curling shot saved by Wahlstedt before he burst into the box in space and made it 2-0 with a clinical strike. While the scoreline suggested a total domination by Southampton, they saw many a chance go begging despite entirely controlling possession and limiting Blackburn to four shots to their 19.
