Southampton suffered defeat on their travels this afternoon after suffering a 2-1 loss to Everton at Goodison Park.
Everton scored two first half goals that would go on to secure them the victory. Former Saint Theo Walcott scored the first goal of the afternoon, scoring from a free kick to give the Toffees the lead.
New signing Richarlison then scored a second for Everton on 30 minutes, leaving the Saints 2-0 down going into the break.
Danny Ings would net for Southampton, his first for the Saints, to make it 2-1, but it wasn’t enough to salvage a point for Mark Hughes’ side.
Here’s how we rated the Saints today.
Alex McCarthy - 6
Solid as always for Saints again.
