Nathan Tella scored in both halves as Southampton inflicted a second successive Premier League 2 Division 2 defeat on nine-man Fulham to seal a 2-0 win at Motspur Park.

The 18-year-old winger (pictured) put the visitors Ahead in the first minute when he struck from close range.

Fulham struggled and their frustration told when Marlon Fossey was sent off for a challenge on Ben Rowthorn on 62 minutes.

Southampton made it 2-0 with seven minutes remaining from Tella's brilliant solo run and finish.

Within 60 seconds Fulham's Mortiz Jenz was also dismissed.

Southampton boosted their play-off hopes by moving a point and a place above Fulham into sixth, on 30 points, one behind Reading.
