Southampton finally ended their long wait for a Premier League victory, securing their first win in 23 matches, a streak that dated back to March 2023. Manager Russell Martin must have been anxious about the potential consequences of continued poor performance, especially with the presence of club owner Dragan Solak, who rarely attends matches. The game appeared to be heading for another disappointing result for Southampton until a dramatic moment unfolded just five minutes before the final whistle. Everton substitute Beto had nearly given his team the lead with a header that struck the crossbar. However, Southampton quickly countered, and Adam Armstrong capitalized on a cross from Yuki Suguwara, scoring the decisive goal and igniting celebrations among the home fans.
