Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Southampton 2-2 Bristol City. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Ross Stewart 74', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Southampton led Corners 7-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bristol City also shaded Shots on target 5-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Southampton the favourite at 73.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
