Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Southampton FC to score. At the same time, Newcastle United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Callum Wilson suffering a number of foals already.
- 7' GOAL! Che Adams scores on 7. Assisted by Theo Walcott
- 12' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Southampton FC that had 352 games and scored 427 goals.

- 32' The 26-year-old Matthew Longstaff has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 37' Jan Bednarek is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Southampton FC tonight.
- 42' Southampton FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 43' Federico Fernandez catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 43.
- 48' Newcastle United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 48.
