Austin at the double as Saints sink Everton
Show/hide article…
Two Charlie Austin headers in the space of six second-half minutes helped Southampton claim a 4-1 victory over Everton.
Dusan Tadic put Saints ahead in the 18th minute with a smart finish from Ryan Bertrand’s through-ball but Everton equalised through Gylfi Sigurdsson’s first PL goal for the Toffees, in first-half stoppage time.
Austin put Saints ahead again with a header from Bertrand’s cross seven minutes after the restart and soon made it 3-1 with an almost identical header, this time from Tadic’s centre.
Steven Davis secured a convincing win that took his side on to 16 points, when firing in from the edge of the area with three minutes left.
Defeat leaves Everton two points above the relegation zone.

U23s Report: Middlesbrough 3-3 Saints
Show/hide article…
Two goals in the space of five second-half minutes from Jake Hesketh and Jonathan Afolabi looked to have laid the platform for victory at Heritage Park only for Boro to bite back either side of half time.
George Miller reduced the deficit for the hosts on 41 minutes and Ashley Fletcher drew them level after the break from close range.
A second well-taken strike for standout performer Hesketh restored Southampton’s lead only for Nathan McGinley to blast home seven minutes from time to end the scoring at 3-3 at Heritage Park.
A scrappy opening to proceedings wasn’t aided by difficult conditions in the northeast, a strong wind and uneven surface prevented both sides from asserting themselves on the game.
Middlesborough came into the encounter having won eight of their previous 10 matches and it showed in the early exchanges, the dangerous Miller flashing a shot across the face of goal when played in down the left-hand side of the Saints defence.
The pressure on the away side though was fleeting and soon Radhi Jaidi’s boys were in front, Hesketh stroking into the far corner via the post on the counter attack on 14 minutes.
From then, the course of the game was set, Boro pushing forwards, Saints waiting patiently to strike on the break. The visitors’ considered approach paid dividends once more midway through the first half.
Moments after Rudy Gestede headed wide at the back post, Jonathan Afolabi was doubling the advantage at the other end, shrugging off a defender before driving confidently in off the upright on the half volley.
The two-goal cushion was short-lived. Ashley Fletcher’s clever through ball released Miller into the box to calmly slot past Jack Rose on 41 minutes, one of the hosts’ only meaningful attacks of the half.
O’Connor slammed against the near post after another slick Saints breakaway in first-half stoppage time, the 2-1 scoreline a fair reflection of the course of the game at the interval.
The encounter burst into life in the second period. Armani Little’s classy curling effort was clawed out from under the bar by Aynsley Pears.
The keeper’s fabulous save increased in value moments later as Fletcher bundled Boro level from a corner after Rose had palmed away a thumping Rudy Gestede header.
Back came Saints immediately after the restart. A Pears fumble presented the ball to Hesketh and the midfielder needed no invitation to double his tally on the rebound to make it 3-2 with 25 minutes to play.
A flurry of substitutions followed, the pace rhythm of both sides dipping as the final 10 minutes approached. For all of Saints’ endeavour, it was Boro who improved in the closing stages.
As Jaidi’s young charges tired, the home side dug deep to produce a cruel late equaliser seven minutes from time as McGinley fired high into the net after a scramble in the box.

Southampton 4-1 Everton: Charlie Austin hits double
Show/hide article…
Charlie Austin scored twice on his first Premier League start of the season as woeful Everton’s horror season hit a new low.
Caretaker boss David Unsworth made eight changes from the Europa League side humbled by Atalata in midweek – including dropping Wayne Rooney back to the bench – but his team surrendered again.
Any potential new manager – Republic of Ireland boss Martin O’Neill is now the new favourite – will be under no illusions that the job is just keeping this disjointed squad in the Premier League this season.
Dusan Tadic opened the scoring for Southampton after 18 minutes when he prodded a shot past Jordan Pickford after a fine Ryan Bertrand cross.
Everton’s only moment to savour came on the stroke of 45 minutes when £40m signing Gylfi Sigurdsson turned two defenders before his dipping shot crashed home via the bar, post and bar again.
His only other Everton goal against Hadjuk Split back in August was also a wonder goal. Saints had failed to score in their last two games and could not even manage a shot on target at Liverpool last weekend.
Austin last found the net in open play against Everton on November 27 last year. But after hitting the post in the first half, he scored two similar headers inside the six-yard box as Saints showed their old zest in attack.
After 52 minutes, he flicked in Bertrand’s left-wing cross – and six minutes later he took advantage of more lax marking to nod home a great delivery from Tadic.

REPORT: Austin nest twice in six minutes to silence struggling Everton
Show/hide article…
For all his futile words about wanting to lead this rabble permanently, there was a look on David Unsworth’s face after Southampton’s third of four goals that suggested he might well be better off when the job finally goes elsewhere.
He looked tortured, utterly despondent at the sheer ineptness of this side, too angry to even bother leaving his seat. And why wouldn’t he be? There was no surprise about what happened here because it is happening every game.
The only question is whether the new guy is any better at solving the riddle of this expensive, gutless squad than the current one, who has now lost five of his seven games as caretaker. On this basis, you’d rather be caretaker at a maximum-security prison. An inmate, even.
One statistic in particular told the tale of how poor Everton were in this game - Southampton had scored only four goals from open play all season and here they were noticeably disappointed to only double it. The truth is that Everton somehow managed to make Southampton look like Manchester City. Too good to go down? No chance.
They were weak before Dusan Tadic got this rout started, flattered to deceive when Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a beauty on the stroke of half time, and defended atrociously for Charlie Austin’s two headers. When Steven Davis made it 4-1, it was the least either side deserved.
It might well be Unsworth’s last game considering the club’s belief that an appointment is ‘imminent’, but even if the botched search for a successor is close to being resolved, the next man might well have doubts after a loss that was about as bad as the 5-1 hiding against Atalanta on Thursday.
Unsworth happens to believe the club isn’t in a relegation scrap, but that is ambition and loyalty getting the better of reality. What is beyond doubt, and Unsworth agrees, is that the limbo of the manager situation needs solving urgently.
‘The club has to decide and the sooner that happens the better,’ he said. ‘The players need this resolving.
‘What I see is a happy squad but I’d rather have an unhappy squad that’s winning. I want what’s best for the club and I hope the players do too.
‘We’re in a tough place and things have to change quickly. I think we have a massive week ahead of us (with home games against West Ham and Huddersfield). I’ve never seen a team that needs its fans more than we do at the moment.’
But it will take more than a supportive crowd to change this side. Take the second and third goals, for instance, which were mirror images of each other with Michael Keane and Ashley Williams doing woeful jobs of defending identical crosses to the near post. Each time they allowed Austin between them, unmarked.
There was also the opening goal when Leighton Baines managed only the weakest of challenges on Tadic, and a chance that Austin put against the post shortly after Sigurdsson was outmuscled by Cedric Soares, all 5ft 6in of him. Losing the physical skirmishes, the battles of will, is always a bad look in a struggling side.
The manager deserves blame for the repeated organisational failures of his defence – 20 goals conceded in his tenure - and that issue will not be helped by the possible loss to a calf injury of Baines. But Unsworth was also fair in putting this loss and others down to the players.
Unsworth said: ‘When we go into a game situation if anything goes slightly against us we are conceding opportunities but we are far too easy to score against and it is not good enough, it has to change.
‘If it needs players coming back or new players in January, something has to change. This group of players is underperforming, whether it is Ronald Koeman in charge or me.’
On Joey Barton, who used Twitter on Sunday to say Unsworth was ‘responsible’ for the loss, the caretaker replied: ‘When we start listening to what Joey Barton has to say I think it is time for everyone to go home.’
For Southampton and Maurico Pellegrino, what a relief after winning one of their previous seven league games.
Ryan Bertrand was superb and made the opener for Tadic, Austin scored his first goals in open play since facing Everton a year ago to the day, and Sofiane Boufal was masterful with his tricks. Perhaps most impressive was the resilience once Sigurdsson had levelled with a shot that hit the bar, then the post and then the bar again before crossing.
Pellegrino had been under pressure, but now he can breathe a little easier.
He said: ‘In football character is everything, to try to play well, with good ideas, with spirit. We did. I’m really happy with this.’
Unsworth, by contrast, can only imagine the feeling.

Southampton 4 Everton 1: Charlie Austin double heaps more misery on David Unsworth as crisis grows
Show/hide article…
The growing sense of crisis surrounding Everton intensified as caretaker-manager David Unsworth experienced a fifth defeat in seven games since taking temporary charge of the Goodison Park club following the dismissal of Ronald Koeman.
Dusan Tadic put the home side on course for the win and while Gylfi Sigurdsson’s first league goal since becoming Everton’s record signing brought Unsworth’s side level before the break, two second half headers from Charlie Austin and a late goal from Steve Davis’s late goal completed a one-sided win that will provided yet another reminder of the need for the Everton board to complete their search for a permanent manager quickly.
It sums up Everton’s current problems that a Southampton side that had managed to score just nine goals in their previous 12 Premier League games were able to able to rediscover their attacking threat against Unsworth’s side.

Slick Southampton score four as Everton produce another dismal display
Show/hide article…
Three days after branding his side’s display in the Europa League defeat to Atalanta as “unacceptable”, David Unsworth, the Everton caretaker-manager, was forced to confront another dismal display that highlighted the growing problems at the club.
Two goals from Charlie Austin - the forward’s first league goals in open play in 12 months - sandwiched between Dusan Tadic’s first half opener and Steve Davis’s 87th minute strike inflicted a fifth defeat in seven games on Everton since Unsworth took temporary charge following the dismissal of Ronald Koeman.
Gylfi Sigurdsson gave the visitors a brief moment of hope when he cancelled out Tadic’s opener just before half-time but there were few other positives for Everton in a performance that suggested an urgent need for the uncertainty surrounding the vacant manager’s position to be resolved quickly.
Unsworth admitted that most of the midweek line-up had made it easy for him to leave them out at St Mary’s, was good to his word, making eight changes with Wayne Rooney among those dropping to the bench.
Yet if the caretaker-manager was hoping for a reaction that might suggest the club’s fortunes are about to be turned round, he didn’t get it. Southampton have frequently laboured at home this season but against opponents desperately short of confidence, they started the game fluently and could easily have been three up inside the opening half hour.
Charlie Austin was restored to the Saints attack in place of Shane Long and should have marked his return with a goal in the seventh minute when Virgil Van Dijk rose to head James Ward-Prowse’s corner into the forward’s path. Just ten yards out and with time to measure his shot, Austin was guilty of snatching at the chance, sending the ball over the bar.
By then, Everton had already been guilty of contributing to their own problems when Phil Jagielka attempted to chest Ward-Prowse’s free-kick back towards Jordan Pickford, forcing the keeper into a hurried save that did nothing to calm nerves among Unsworth’s side.
The sense that a goal was coming intensified when Southampton right-back Cedric managed to work his way to the by-line and turn inside Sigurdsson before sending a low cross towards Austin at the near post. This time the forward produced a more controlled finish and was unfortunate to see the ball bounce clear off the post.
Everton had little to offer by way of response and when the visitors did get a clear sight of goal, Kevin Mirallas overran the ball, allowing Fraser Forster to save easily.
Briefly troubled, Southampton responded in the ideal way by forcing the lead with the kind of sweeping move that has been largely missing from their play this season. Ryan Bertrand won possession deep in his own half and pressed forward, laying the ball off to Austin and continuing with his run to collect a return from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg before sweeping in a low pass towards Tadic.
Leighton Baines was slow to spot the Serb’s run towards the edge of the box where Tadic took a touch before deftly flicking the ball past Pickford.
The goal reflected the balance of the game and Southampton should have extended their lead before Sigurdsson unexpectedly brought Everton back into the game on the stroke of half-time with a superb dipping shot from 25 yards out that crossed the line after striking the underside of the bar, the inside of a post, then the bar again.
Somehow Everton had been handed a route back into the game but any hope Sigurdsson’s first league goal for the club might prove a turning point disappeared seven minutes into the second half when Austin met Bertrand’s cross with a well-placed header. Six minutes later the forward produced an almost identical finish, this time from Tadic’s cross to kill off any chance of an Everton response. Davis’s late strike was no more than Saints deserved.

Southampton 4-1 Everton: Charlie Austin scores twice in comfortable victory
Show/hide article…
Southampton heaped more misery on Everton with an emphatic 4-1 victory at St Mary’s in the Premier League on Super Sunday.
Charlie Austin scored two second-half headers (52, 58) after Gylfi Sigurdsson’s brilliant effort (45) had earlier cancelled out Dusan Tadic’s 18th-minute opener for the home side - before Steven Davis curled in a late fourth with a fine finish three minutes from time.
Everton have now won only one of their last 12 matches in all competitions and remain 16th in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone, while Southampton climb to 10th.
Austin, starting a Premier League game for the first time this season, would have a hat-trick to his name if he’d converted one of two good chances in the opening 12 minutes. Firstly, he scuffed a presentable chance over the bar following a corner, before striking the post from seven yards as he attempted to steer home a Cedric Soares cut-back.
But the opener arrived on 18 minutes when Tadic received Ryan Bertrand’s through-ball and took one touch to fend off Leighton Baines before deftly slipping the ball past Jordan Pickford with his left foot.
Southampton dominated the first 45 minutes, but Sigurdsson conjured up a sensational Everton equaliser just before the break, curling home from 20 yards with the ball dramatically striking the bar, the post and the bar again before crossing the line.
However, the game was ultimately settled by two simple headed goals shortly after half-time. Austin restored Southampton’s lead within seven minutes of the restart, steering a close-range header across Pickford from Bertrand’s left-wing cross.
And things got even worse for Everton when Idrissa Gueye lost possession six minutes later, affording Tadic time and space on the left to cross for Austin to head in his second and Southampton’s third.
The fourth arrived in the 87th minute when Davis curled past Pickford from the edge of the area after excellent work from James Ward-Prowse and Soares in the build-up.
Wayne Rooney remained a frustrated observer from the substitutes’ bench as Southampton cruised to victory and with David Unsworth picking up just four points from his four league games in charge, Everton’s need to appoint a new full-time manager now seems more urgent than ever.
Austin’s eight previous Premier League appearances this season had all come from the bench and the striker evidently had a point to prove after being awarded a rare start by Mauricio Pellegrino. He made that point in style and despite spurning two early chances, he settled this match with two textbook headers shortly after the break.
Sky Sports’ commentator Alan Smith picked him out as the shining light in a Southampton team full of impressive performers, saying: “There have been plenty of candidates; Bertrand, Boufal and Tadic have all done really well, but Austin was the matchwinner with the second and third goals to take the match away from Everton. They were superb goals.”
Mauricio Pellegrino (Southampton): “Austin has trained much, much better in the last few weeks and I think he deserved his chance. You have to be ready because you never know when the manager will need you to be ready.”
David Unsworth (Everton): “I can’t stand here and defend the players today. It was a totally unacceptable performance, especially in the second half, and the Everton fans are quite rightly going to be furious with that but so am I. It’s not good enough for our football club.”
"With Everton, there’s no defensive urgency. There’s no urgency to get blocks in and stop the opposition doing what they want to do. There’s no game plan either going forward or defensively and I’m struggling to work out what Everton are looking to do with the team they put out.
“They are talking about getting another manager in but the problem is the personnel they’ve got. What XI can you put out to maybe grind out a 0-0 draw, maybe to outplay the opposition? Like I said, Everton have no game plan and they can’t seem to do anything well so you can get Marco Silva in, you could even get Pep Guardiola in but what on earth would he do with that bunch of players?”
Everton have two home games against West Ham (Wednesday) and Huddersfield (Saturday) in the next week, while Southampton travel to leaders Man City on Wednesday before making the short trip to Bournemouth on Super Sunday.
