FULL-TIME: Southampton 2-0 Newcastle

They've done it. Southampton – one year on from their humiliating 9-0 defeat to Leicester – are at the top of the Premier League table for the very first time.

Che Adams' early opener set the precedent for the hosts before Stuart Armstrong added a superb second late on.

Steve Bruce will be disappointed with how both the goals were given away, after his side were cheaply caught in possession near their own area.
