Adam Armstrong scores again as Southampton beat Queens Park Rangers 2-1 to remain unbeaten in the Championship.
Southampton maintained their unbeaten start to the Championship season as they held off battling QPR at St Mary's.
Saints, who were without Nathan Tella and Che Adams, both linked with transfers away from the club, have 10 points from four games while Rangers have lost three of their four matches.With Tella reportedly in Germany ahead of a move to Bayer Leverkusen and Adams not involved amid speculation about a move back to the Premier League, Russell Martin handed a start to 17-year-old Sam Amo-Ameyaw while new signings Flynn Downes and Ryan Fraser made their Southampton debuts off the bench.
Less than two minutes later, the visitors were level with their first attempt on goal as Colback, making his first QPR start, collected a loose ball on the edge of the box and fired low past Gavin Bazunu and in off the inside of the post. Fraser was denied a debut goal on the break by the outstretched hand of Begovic, and QPR almost snatched a point at the death but 18-year-old Rayan Kolli was unable to capitalise after being played through by Osman Kakay as Saints made it their longest unbeaten league run since February 2022."We were too slow in the first half and not enough willingness to run. That's the first time we have played against that shape and we tried to guess. We'll learn a lot from that.
"If you'd have said 10 points from 12 with all the nonsense going on and all the noise then I'm really pleased with that.""A £15million striker was the difference today. Armstrong has scored a lot of goals already this season and he got a chance and took it.
