Southampton ended a miserable week by slumping to a third straight defeat as West Ham triumphed 3-1 in front of a frustrated St Mary's on Saturday.
Manolo Gabbiadini's debut goal after only 12 minutes gave Saints the perfect platform, but one upon which they failed to build.
Andy Carroll levelled just two minutes later before Pedro Obiang's long-ranger and Mark Noble's free kick -- helped into the net by the luckless Steven Davis -- sealed Southampton's 100th Premier League home defeat.
Positives
Gabbiadini became an instant hero and scoring on his first outing eases the pressure on the shoulders of the £17 million import from Napoli.
