Match Recap

Southampton looked ready to run away with it inside half an hour, and then West Ham made them sweat until the final whistle. Kuryu Matsuki needed just two minutes to put the visitors ahead, James Bree doubled it soon after, and Lewis Dobbin's 34th-minute strike had Southampton cruising 3-1 before Kyle Walker-Peters briefly steadied West Ham with a reply. Tomáš Souček's stoppage-time header in the 90+3rd minute turned a comfortable away day into a nervy finish, five goals in all in a Championship clash that never let up. The result also settles the head-to-head: Southampton's first win over West Ham in their last meeting after going winless previously. Southampton climb to ninth with 17 points from five games despite sitting below West Ham's third-placed 22, while league top scorer W. Lankshear watches from a distance as neither side's forwards cracked the division's top ten this time. Watch how Souček's last-gasp header very nearly turned five goals into something even more dramatic.
