In the 25th minute, West Ham took the lead when Kehrer swooped in a magnificent cross that was headed in by Aguerd. Southampton came out with another chance when Elyounoussi hit a sweet shot that was smacked away by Fabianski. West Ham nearly made it 2-0 when Jarrod Bowen skipped past 2 defenders smashed the ball on the top of the crossbar. Another chance came for the Saints when Sulemana struck a nice shot which went wide. Later in the match, Benrahma hit a swerving free-kick which was saved by the Southampton goalkeeper. West Ham attacked again and a Southampton defender nearly put the ball into the Southampton net. Southampton nearly equalised at the end of the game when Onachu bundled in a header which hit the crossbar.

Southampton ended up with 57%, beating West Ham’s 43%. The man of the match award went to Nayef Aguerd after his exceptional header.
