Southampton 0-5 Brentford: Bryan Mbeumo scores twice for the visitors as Bees finally secure a first away win of the season at sorry Saints

Brentford finally have a first away win of the season as they brushed aside a Southampton team which is on course to become the worst in Premier League history. A new manager but the same old story for sorry Saints who remain on six points, five short of the 11 which Derby managed in the 2007-08 season.

'Can we play you every week?' was the chant ringing out from the away end with the travelling Bees hardly being able to believe how easily they had come away with the points. They had to wait until only the sixth minute to take the lead. Mikkel Damsgaard capitalised on a poor touch from Joe Aribo and slid the ball into the left channel for Kevin Schade to delicately touch it beyond Aaron Ramsdale.

That early goal extinguished any semblance of an atmosphere inside St Mary's which has been witness to just four home points this season. With Saints unable to carve out a chance of their own, the Bees almost went two up. First when Yoane Wissa was denied at point-blank range by Ramsdale after Schade's pass. And then, when Christian Norgaard nodded Mathias Jensen's free-kick against the crossbar.

Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Kean Lewis-Potter and Kevin Schade were on target as Brentford put five past Southampton. Mbeumo was twice on target and teed up Lewis-Potter for the fourth goal in a star display. Southampton have changed their manager but it's the same old story after another defeat.
