Jack Collison and Declan Rice react to footage of David Martin greeting West Ham United players following Southampton win

West Ham United secured a vital victory against Southampton at the London Stadium on Saturday, running out 3-1 winners to hand their survival chances a massive boost.

January signing Jarrod Bowen opened his account on his first Premier League start for the Hammers 15 minutes into the game, but the Saints hit back through Michael Obafemi 16 minutes later.

Club-record signing Sebastian Haller restored West Ham’s lead five minutes from the break, finding the back of the net from a tight angle after beating Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy in a challenge to score his first goal since New Year’s Day.
