Roy Hodgson's first game in charge of Crystal Palace ended in a 1-0 defeat as an early Steven Davis strike sealed the points for Southampton and the Londoners made it five Premier League games without a goal.
Palace made a positive start as the former England manager looked on from the home dugout, with Christian Benteke getting down the left and swinging in a cross that caused problems before being cleared.
But after only six minutes, the struggling Eagles were behind as Davis played in Dusan Tadic down the right and, when his cross was pushed out by Wayne Hennessey, Davis followed up to sidefoot into the corner.
