Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse is full of praise for Armando Broja after yesterday's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

Both players struck on the night.

“I think he had a bit of a slow start but week by week he's gradually grown I think as a person. He's very confident around the place which is great," Ward-Prowse said of the Chelsea loanee.

“He's a young guy. We've got a few really young lads playing together tonight which is great to see and he led the line well.

“He's a good physical presence, he can run in behind, hold the ball up, he's got great technical ability and took his goal really well.

“It's always great as players because there's so many games to come that we can always put things right if we've had a bad result but equally a great chance to build momentum."
