    Match summary

    Goals from Will Smallbone and Jonathan Afolabi earned a 2-1 win against Newcastle United that put Southampton level on points with Premier League 2 Division 2 leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers.

    First-team manager Ralph Hasenhuttl watched the Development squad's second victory in four days, after a 3-0 Premier League International Cup triumph over West Ham United on Tuesday.

    Smallbone broke the deadlock on 54 minutes, when he found the net from close range after a scramble in the penalty area.

    Afolabi made it 2-0 following good work by Nathan Tella eight minutes later, before Callum Roberts scored a 75th-minute penalty for the visitors at Staplewood.

    But Saints held on to move up to third on 24 points, behind Wolves and second-placed Reading on goal difference.

    Newcastle are five points behind Southampton in sixth position.
