Newcastle United strolled past Southampton with a 4-1 win on Sunday at St. Mary’s Stadium. Soton were looking to get back to winning ways after losing their last match 1-0 to Crystal Palace. Newcastle were hoping to continue their winning streak after back-to-back victories against Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur. Soton and Newcastle currently occupy 18th and 3rd spots in the table, with 12 points and 27 points respectively after 15 matches.

Newcastle didn’t take long to get on the score-sheet, when Miguel Almiron opened the rout on the 35 minute mark, ending the first half 1-0.

The Magpies continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, with a goal from Chris Wood, 58 minutes in. Newcastle looked to have the match under control when they scored again to grab the advantage, thanks to a goal from Joseph Willock after 62 minutes to establish a 3-0. However, Soton refused to lie down and managed to pull back a goal from Romain Perraud in the 89th minute. In the end though, The Magpies then grabbed a goal from Bruno Guimaraes just before the full time, leaving the final score at 4-1.
