Southampton deepened Leeds United's concerns at the bottom end of the table on Saturday afternoon, earning a 1-0 victory over the Whites at St Mary's.
The first half was a fairly tame affair, with the hosts enjoying more of the possession, and creating the better chances. Leeds failed to register a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, and Southampton's only regret would have been their inability to beat Illan Meslier.
Nathan Redmond tried his luck early on but couldn't sneak the ball past the Frenchman, while Armando Broja also came close on a couple of occasions. Neither team was able to find the breakthrough however, and they headed into the dressing rooms all square.
The deadlock was broken eight minutes into the second half however, when Southampton pulled off a lightning counter attack, which ended with Redmond picking out Broja in the middle, who scored the first Premier League goal of his career.
Leeds struggled to threaten the Southampton goal, despite being in desperate need of an equaliser, failing to record a single shot on target over the entire 90 minutes, and amassing only three efforts all match.
