Southampton ended their goal drought at St Mary's and increased 10-man West Ham's misery with a 3-2 Premier League victory secured by a stoppage-time penalty from Charlie Austin.
Southampton ended their goal drought at St Mary's and increased 10-man West Ham's misery with a 3-2 Premier League victory secured by a stoppage-time penalty from Charlie Austin.
An inability to score in their past six home games had contributed to the dismissal of Claude Puel and continued in last week's 0-0 draw with Swansea in new manager Mauricio Pellegrino's first match in charge, despite 29 shots on goal.
In West Ham they then found accommodating opposition, whose hopes of recovering from a 4-0 defeat at Manchester United suffered when the reckless Marko Arnautovic was sent off in the first half.
The club-record signing was given a red card in the 33rd minute after he appeared to elbow Jack Stephens when they already trailed to Manolo Gabbiadini's opening goal.
Austin's late penalty, following Dusan Tadic's in the first half, then secured a first league victory of the season for fifth-placed Southampton, who almost drew once again after Javier Hernandez's two goals took the visitors level.
