Armstrong earns Southampton first win of season.
The striker scored in the 85th minute to get the Saints’ first three points of the season
Adam Armstrong’s late goal gave Southampton their first Premier League win of the season as they beat Everton 1-0 at St Mary’s.
Armstrong’s first league strike of the season came in the 85th minute of Saturday’s tightly fought contest, moments after Everton substitute Beto struck the crossbar at the other end.
Aaron Ramsdale had earlier kept the scores level with a fine save from Michael Keane’s close-range header, while Everton thought they had an equaliser when Beto raced in behind and finished brilliantly beyond Southampton’s goalkeeper.
However, a VAR review showed that Beto had strayed offside, and the goal was overturned, to the delight of the home fans.
Southampton’s win takes them onto four points and, at least temporarily, into 19th place, while Everton remain in 16th after their five-game unbeaten streak run came to an end.
