Saints ended their pre-season preparations with a 2-2 draw at Yeovil.

Nigel Adkins’ men twice took the lead at Huish Park but were pegged back on both occasions and now have one week to go to get themselves fully ready for the big Championship kick-off against Leeds.

David Connolly gave Saints the lead just before half time before former Saint Paul Wotton equalised from the penalty spot on 62 minutes after a foul on Paul Huntington by Jose Fonte.

Jonathan Forte burst through the middle and produced an excellent finish to give Saints the lead again on 67 minutes but it lasted just four minutes before Andy Williams’ deft header made it honours even.

Alex Chamberlain was not in the squad due to the injury he sustained against West Brom.

Yeovil: Steer, Ayling (Gibson 87), Huntington, N’Gala, Ehmer, Jones (Edgar 61), Wotton, Upson, G Williams (A Williams 61), McLean (Fallon 61), Agard (Curtis 61).

Saints: Davis, Butterfield (Richardson 79), Fonte (Martin 79), Seaborne (Jaidi 63), Harding, Do Prado, Schneiderlin, Cork (Chaplow 63), Lallana (De Ridder 63), Connolly (Forte 45), Lambert. Att: 2018.
