SAINTS midfielder Joe Rothwell has been named in the latest Sky Bet Championship team of the week after his double against Sunderland.
Super-sub Rothwell helped Southampton secure all three points against the Black Cats on Saturday, scoring twice from the bench in a 4-2 win.
The Cherries loanee's double came within seven minutes of his introduction, with both goals being scored in just three minutes.
It was the second time Rothwell has produced a game-changing brace having also done so in Southampton's thrilling 5-3 win over Huddersfield last month.
