Ten-man Wolverhampton Wanderers came from a goal down to claim a valuable 2-1 victory at Premier League bottom club Southampton with debutant Joao Gomes scoring late on Saturday.

Wolves were trailing to Carlos Alcaraz’s first-half opener and had Mario Lemina sent off in the 27th minute.

But they levelled through Jan Bednarek’s 72nd minute own goal and Gomes struck in the 87th minute.

Southampton remain rooted to the foot of the table with 15 points while Wolves are on the rise and have 23, five points clear of the relegation zone.

Wolves have started the game on the front foot. Southampton look cautious, understandably given their current travails.

Both teams start brightly as Neves' pot shot from outside the box is blocked. Dawson closes down Perraud in Wolves' box to concede a corner. Ward-Prowse whips it in and Bednarek heads high and wide to the right of goal.

Southampton won't want to face Wolves at the moment. They've lost their last four league games to these visitors, including their last three at St Mary's. Wolves have never beaten an opponent five times in a row in the Premier League. Jones' fate may well depend on that not happening here.
