Southampton defeated Norwich City in the Premier League at St Mary's, with Saints continuing their impressive recent form in the top flight to move up to ...

Just over 15 minutes to go now until we get underway at St Mary's. Here is the Southampton squad in full for Hasenhuttl to pick from for the game. They have been dominant, but not clinical in their finishing. He had plenty to say on Saints' recent form, Mohamed Elyounoussi, and why Norwich have all the tools to be a "nasty" opponent for Southampton. The Southampton skipper is set to make his 350th appearance for Saints tonight. Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl spoke to the media yesterday ahead of the game. With five wins from eight games in all competitions, including eight points from their last four Premier League matches, Saints are now in the top half of the table and through to the fifth round of the FA Cup. The two sides are out warming up and the countdown to kick off is on. The ball falls invitingly for Elyounoussi in the box, but his shot is straight at Angus Gunn, who stands up tall to make the save. The chances are coming for Southampton now. Southampton have a one-goal lead at the break, but it really could - and should - be more. Southampton are up to ninth after a dominant display against Norwich City under the lights at St Mary's.

Che Adams and Oriol Romeu both got on the scoresheet as Southampton beat basement club Norwich City 2-0 in their Premier League clash on Friday, ...

"We all had an agreement before the season to improve on last season. We needed that second goal, we were struggling a bit but that gave us the confidence," Romeu told Sky Sports. Norwich were punished for sitting back in the 36th minute as Scottish international Adams came out on top in a goalmouth scramble, scooping the ball home at the second attempt for his seventh Premier League goal of the season.

The striker's goal was his ninth in 16 games for club and country, after a run of 11 matches without a goal at the start of the campaign. Streaky? Perhaps, but ...

It's all Southampton at the start of the second half! "If we perform well, we have got a good chance of getting the results. Chance for the visitors! It was the very least that Southampton deserved. the Scot is encouraged to "shoooot" by the crowd and obliges but his left-footed attempt drifts well wide. They were forced to wait until the 88th minute for the second, although it was ultimately worth the delay as Ward-Prowse’s corner deflected into the path of Romeu. Everyone loves him and we all want to support him.” Gunn’s last Premier League game at this ground was for Southampton in their 9-0 defeat by Leicester City in 2019, and there must have been times here when he wondered if history might repeat itself. For Norwich, it is increasingly hard to see a way out of this situation, especially with the other relegation-threatened teams finding some form in recent weeks. Adams alone might have notched three or four, having wasted a series of opportunities across the night. These are dark days indeed for Dean Smith’s side, who mustered just a single shot on target in an embarrassing showing. Such was their control of this game, which never once threatened to leave their grasp.

Southampton 2-0 Norwich: Saints continue their march up the Premier League table with a well-deserved victory over the struggling visitors thanks to Che Adams's ...

Armstrong is there and sends in a low drive. ‘There is a big chance this season to end up the top half of the table. Southampton hit on the counter. We weren’t aggressive enough without the ball or good enough with it.’ Norwich have barely had a sniff of the ball but they've just had the best chance of the game! Again, Gunn did his best, getting a touch on Tino Livramento’s dangerous cross. The Southampton man takes it on and has a crack on goal from 18 yards out but his shot is saved by Angus Gunn. The way we managed it today was impressive. It takes a deflection and Angus Gunn does well to adjust his feet and switch direction in time to get down a stop the shot. -Prowse's corner is flicked on and Brandon Williams does well to get his head in the way of Che Adams at the back post to deny him a straightforward header on goal. We had too many six out of 10s. He shows it sometimes in training sessions that he likes to take those shots.
