Having gone 1-0 down, Saints were awarded a 58th minute penalty. Set piece specialist Ward-Prowse stepped up... but it wasn't to be the usual result. The England international suffered an unfortunate slip, sending the ball high and wide. Ward-Prowse was clearly a victim of the dodgy turf giving way. But fans on social media had a more cruel assessment. One joked: "Trying to drive his price down. He wants that move." While a second tweeted: "He wants to leave sooo bad."

And another, pointing to the 2008 Champions League final, added: "John Terry vibes." Southampton went on to level just six minutes later, via highly-rated young forward Carlos Alcaraz, with the match finishing 1-1. Ward-Prowse, 28, has been linked with a move away from his boyhood club following their relegation. West Ham are believed to be keen on signing the midfield ace. Hammers chiefs are willing to bid £20million, although Saints bosses are reportedly demanding double. Despite his set piece prowess, Ward-Prowse has missed more penalties than you might think. He has scored 18 spot kicks during his career, while missing six. His free-kick record is remarkable, having bagged 17 in the Premier League. This tally is only one behind the competition's record holder David Beckham.){kind=link}
