Southampton had 12 shots to Wolves' two in the first half. That's despite only having 39 per cent possession. Jones' men have battled hard and warrant their narrow lead. Wolves have lost all five games they've trailed at half-time in the Premier League this season. If they can somehow rescue a result here, they'll take that.

Neves argues with the referee as the half-time whistle blows. He's right to be frustrated. Southampton have been all over Wolves, thanks in part to Semedo's dismissal for two avoidable yellow cards, but not entirely. Alcaraz's cute goal is the least they deserve. The hosts will surely believe they can win this match from here.

Semedo buys a free-kick off Lavia as he tries to escape his own half. Wolves will be grateful for the respite.
