The Southampton and England midfielder goes in-depth on his free-kick technique and his resurgence under Ralph Hasenhüttl
James Ward-Prowse knew he was going to score even before he put the ball down. The Southampton captain had already found the top corner with one free-kick at Aston Villa last Sunday and he had bent another from the flank on to the head of his teammate Jannik Vestergaard to open the scoring. Now he had an opportunity bang in the middle, one yard outside the Villa area.
Was it too close to work his trademark up-and-down technique? Vestergaard thought so. The big centre-half told Ward-Prowse he should just let him smack it. Ward-Prowse was incredulous.
