Who was your man of the match? – West Ham (H)

Southampton got their first Premier League win of the season with a 3-2 victory over West Ham.

Charlie Austin netted a penalty three minutes into added time to snatch all three points for Mauricio Pellegrino’s side.

Manolo Gabbiadini scored his first goal of the season, as Nathan Redmond played the ball through to the Italian, who shrugged off former Saint José Fonte and slotted the ball into the bottom corner.

West Ham then went down to ten men, as Marco Arnautovic elbowed Jack Stephens in the face and got a straight red.

Dusan Tadic then doubled the lead, as Steven Davis was taken down in the box by Fonte, and the Serbian struck the ball straight down the middle to give Saints a second.

West Ham got back to level terms. Two Javier Hernandez rebound goals meant that the visitors drew level.

But it was Saints that got the last chance, as Maya Yoshida was brought down in the 92nd minute by Pablo Zabaleta, handing a penalty to the Saints with just seconds left.

Charlie Austin stepped up and slotted the ball past Hart to win the game in the dying embers.

Now it’s time to find out who was your man of the match. Take our duel below to have your say!
