Southampton finally celebrated their first Premier League win of the 2024-25 season, defeating Everton 1-0 at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. The decisive moment came in the 85th minute when Adam Armstrong scored a clinical goal, slotting home inside the box after a swift counter-attack. This victory marked a significant turnaround for the Saints, who had been struggling at the bottom of the league table.
The match was characterized by a lackluster first half with few scoring opportunities, but the second half saw an increase in intensity. Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was instrumental, making several crucial saves, including a spectacular tip of Michael Keane’s goal-bound header onto the post in the 67th minute. Everton also had their chances, with Beto hitting the crossbar with a close-range header just before Armstrong’s goal.
Everton’s hopes of an equalizer were dashed in the 89th minute when Beto’s goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review. This decision ended Everton’s five-game unbeaten run and left them in 16th place with nine points, while Southampton moved off the bottom of the table with four points from ten matches.
The win was a testament to Southampton’s resilience and the outstanding performance of their goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale, who was named the player of the match. Southampton manager Russell Martin praised his team’s bravery and composure, highlighting the importance of the clean sheet and the well-executed goal.
