REUTERS: Southampton's Danny Ings said he needed no extra motivation for Tuesday's League Cup clash against south coast derby rivals Portsmouth as he struck a brace to give his team their first win at Fratton Park in 35 years.
"For me to get the nod to play tonight, there was hunger in my belly straight away and being from the area I knew exactly how much it means to everybody in Southampton and the fans," Ings, 27, told Southampton's website https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2019-09-24/danny-ings-post-portsmouth-southampton-carabao-cup-third-round-1920.
"It's a really special occasion for all of us as a club... to give back tonight the way we did under tough circumstances was very professional and a credit to us."Ings, who joined Southampton on an initial loan switch from Liverpool before making the move permanent in the close season, is no stranger to the high expectations and intensity in games between local rivals.
