Southampton 3-2 West Ham: Charlie Austin seals last gasp victory over ten-man Hammers as new signing Marko Arnautovic sees straight red for elbow

Daily Mail | August 19, 2017

Charlie Austin was the saviour as Southampton pulled off a last gasp victory over ten-man West Ham at St Mary's.

New boy Marko Arnautovic saw a straight red for a dangerous elbow on Jack Stephens, after Saints had already taken the lead through Manolo Gabbiadini.

Dusan Tadic made it two from the penalty spot, but former Manchester United man Hernandez would strike twice for his new side and look to salvage a point - only for a last gasp Charlie Austin penalty to grab three points for the hosts.
