Newcastle United

Centre-back Federico Fernandez smashed home a rebound two minutes from time as goal-shy Newcastle United came back from one down to beat visitors Southampton 2-1 in their Premier League clash on Sunday.

Coming into the tie having scored a miserly 15 goals in 15 games, Newcastle went behind when Southampton striker Danny Ings held off a defender before shooting across keeper Martin Dubravka for his fifth goal in five league games.

The home team had plenty of possession and threatened repeatedly from the flanks, but it took the introduction of substitute Andy Carroll to turn the game in their favour.
