• Season-ticket holders given a free beer before Arsenal win
• Hasenhüttl: ‘I heard if it works, you have to do it every game’
Ralph Hasenhüttl called on Southampton to continue giving their season-ticket holders a free beer after Sunday’s experiment, designed to create a festive atmosphere at St Mary’s, was followed by the 3-2 victory over Arsenal that hauled the team out of the relegation zone.
The win had a little more to do with Hasenhüttl’s methods swiftly bearing fruit and fine headers from Danny Ings (two) and Charlie Austin than complimentary Carlsberg, but a team who had not won since the start of September needed all the help they could get.
