Alan Shearer was left purring after Danny Ings scored a brilliantly-taken volley for Southampton against Wolves on Sunday afternoon.
Having ended a five-week goal drought by scoring against the same opposition in Southampton's FA Cup win at Molineux in midweek, Ings was at it again in their Premier League meeting.
Stuart Armstrong raced down the left wing and delivered an inch-perfect cross that England striker Ings hit flush on the volley for his 10th goal of the season.

And former Saints striker Shearer, who scored a few like that during his illustrious career, was impressed by Ings' execution.
'What a strike! It was brilliant work from Armstrong down the left and it's clever from Redmond with the block,' Shearer said on Amazon Prime's coverage.
'Keep your eye on the ball, make sure you get the right technique. Wow, what a strike, what a goal.
'He's full of confidence again and you can see it.'
Ings scored Southampton's winner against Liverpool on January 4 but then went five matches without finding the net before netting against Wolves in the 2-0 FA Cup win on Thursday night.

His 25th-minute strike at St Mary's on Sunday took him into double figures for the season for club and country but Southampton really should have scored more goals before half-time.
It was just what Ralph Hasenhuttl's side needed after losing five consecutive league games, including a 9-0 drubbing by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
'You wouldn't have thought that they've gone five games without a win,' Shearer added. 'They're full of confidence, they're bright, full of energy.
'The only disappointment for Southampton is they're not two or three goals up. Wolves have been hopeless, they haven't started. There's been nothing from them.'

However, that changed in the first 20 minutes of the second half as Wolves scored twice to flip the game on its head.
First, Ruben Neves converted a penalty after Ryan Bertrand was adjudged to have handled inside his own box.
Then, Pedro Neto put the visitors ahead with a fierce shot that beat keeper Alex McCarthy as Wolves hung on for the win.
