Southampton are brimming with confidence now. Sulemana gets two shots off around the box. The first is blocked. The second, from slighly further out, bounces wide.

That's Alcaraz's first Premier League goal, and what a vital one it could be! Southampton deserve it. They've had all the shots since Neves' for Wolves in the first minute.

GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 1-0 WOLVES! Alcaraz controls a loose ball to cannon a shot against Dawson in the box. It rebounds to the Argentine, who hits it this time towards the bottom left corner and in off the post!
