Wolves remain on the up, then. Southampton, meanwhile, are only going down on current form, and Jones may be on his way out. That's all for now. Goodbye!

There's no escaping that this is a bad result for Southampton. They stay bottom of the Premier League, four points from safety and potentially more by the end of the weekend. Wolves rise to 15th. It's their third win in four league games, and their first when trailing at half-time since May 2021. They're getting somewhere under Lopetegui.

Southampton have lost to 10-man Wolves as boos ring out at St Mary's! The Saints looked well-placed to pick up a valuable win as they went in at half-time a goal and a man up. Lopetegui's men had other ideas, though, biting back in the second half to steal all three points through Gomes' late strike.
