CLOSE! Sugawara does well to beat his marker and plays a deep cross into the box. Brereton arrives at the far post and gets his head to the delivery, but fails to hit the target.

Smallbone stands over the free-kick, but he takes it short to Aribo whose through ball into the box goes harmlessly out for a goal kick! That is a missed opportunity for the visitors to put some pressure on the Newcastle defence.

Brereton is the player who is booed the most as he tries to initiate a Southampton attack. The Saints are definitely on the ascend here as Newcastle are yet to recover from the red card.
