Comments:

League position: 16th In new manager Ralph Hasenhüttl's second and third games in charge, Southampton had now won consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2017. This was the Saints' first win in their last eight away games in the Premier League (lost six). Danny Ings had now scored seven goals in this Premier League season; the same total scored by Southampton's leading scorer in each of the previous two league seasons. At 18 years and 169 days, Michael Obafemi became youngest player to score for the Saints in the Premier League. The previous club record holder was Dexter Blackstock; 18 years and 177 days, against Portsmouth on 13 November 2004. They scored three or more goals in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2017.
