Southampton also beat Fulham 1-0 at Caravan Cottage. Ross Stewart scored a comfortable penalty in injury time to give Southampton the win. The defeat was a painful blow for Fulham manager Marco Silva. Silva had made nine changes from the 1-0 defeat to West Ham at the weekend, and he paid the price.
