"Allow it," came a roar, followed by the puff of the air stored in between Tom Naylor's cheeks as he tried to meet the ball, but Leo swooped in at the last second and took the ball away.
"That cun-" Naylor tried to say, but what he didn't know was that he was being swarmed, and had Leo left the ball to him, Wigan might have already conceded, just like the previous 2 instances in the past 5 minutes.
"Wigan on the ball now and it's Leo moving it along nicely," came the commentary as Leo took the ball just inside Southampton's half and let the game slow around him.
He rolled it under his sole, head lifting once, then again before dragging it back with the sole, baiting the Southampton numbers to step up, but they looked too organised and smart for that.
Still, the red and white shirts up ahead eventually gave in as two players stepped up to press, mainly because they knew how to do more with the ball than without it.
