Southampton's captain, Jan Bednarek, opened the scoring, but Newcastle's Alexander Isak equalized from the penalty spot and later added a second goal. Sandro Tonali sealed the win with a third goal. This result moves Newcastle into fourth place in the Premier League, bolstering their pursuit of a Champions League spot. Southampton, meanwhile, suffered their sixth consecutive home league defeat and remain at the bottom of the table.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe praised his team's response, especially after their previous loss to Bournemouth. Southampton, under coach Ivan Juric, struggled against Newcastle's effective counter-attacks.
Alexander Isak's performance was particularly noteworthy, as he continued his away goalscoring streak. Sandro Tonali's goal marked his first Premier League goal since returning from a gambling ban.
This victory provided a stark contrast to Newcastle's previous week's disappointing loss to Bournemouth.
