​Southampton star Armstrong: I'm starting to feel myself again

Southampton star Stuart Armstrong believes that he is getting back to his best form.

The midfielder was responsible for helping the Saints defeat Coventry City in the FA Cup fourth round.

He scored a stunning goal in the game in the 63rd minute to equalise, after Coventry had taken the lead in the first half.

Saints went on to win the game in extra time through Kyle Walker-Peters.

Armstrong stated to the Daily Echo: "We had a lot of possession around the box.

"They went 1-0 up, and the natural reaction to that is that they're going to get deeper and deeper, and we're going to control the game a bit more, try and break them down.

"Countering that, it's always a hard position to be in.

"We were restricted to long range shots from in and around the box, to try and get us back into the game, but luckily I caught it well and it's gone in."
