Everton's late equaliser against Southampton was enough to reduce some Southampton fans to tears as they slipped closer to the Premier Legaue trapdoor.

Lady luck certainly did not smile on Mark Hughes' men as they shipped a late equaliser in added-on time to see their hopes of extending their stay in the English top flight take a major blow.

Ryan Bertrand failed to clear down the left and the ball was worked to Tom Davies on the edge of the box, with his effort deflecting off Wesley Hoedt and beyond the hapless Alex McCarthy in the visiting goal.

The impact of the goal could clearly be seen in the stands, with the visiting fans heartbroken by the late sucker punch.
