Danny Ings stays in Golden Boot race as Southampton draw with Everton
Everton's Brazilian forward Richarlison cancelled out Danny Ings's opener for Southampton as the teams drew 1-1 at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Thursday.
After an impressive start, in which Stuart Armstrong had an effort ruled out, Southampton took the lead in the 31st minute when a scuffed Armstrong shot fell to Ings and the forward did well to collect and round Jordan Pickford before sliding home.
The hosts drew level in the mid-table clash two minutes before the interval when Richarlison brought down a long diagonal ball from Lucas Digne and confidently finished.
Southampton ended the game strongest but Everton's defence, well-marshalled by Michael Keane, kept the visitors at bay to leave Carlo Ancelotti's side in 11th spot with 45 points and the Saints a place and a point below them.
Ings' score was his 5th Premier League goal against Everton, the most against any opponent in the league for the ex-Liverpool man. Ings is now on 19 league goals this season, tied with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and behind Leicester City's Jamie Vardy (22) and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (20) in the race for the Golden Boot.
In his previous four seasons, Ings scored a combined 21 goals.
