Southampton v Wolves: The last five meetings

Dan Holes looks back at the previous five meetings between the two sides.

Wolves 2 Southampton 0 - 29 September 2018

Ivan Cavaleiro was the man to step up for Wolves coming off the bench scoring on what would be a memorable Premier League debut for the Portuguese winger.

The Saints were the better side for the majority of the 90 minutes although it was Wolves who broke the deadlock when Adama Traore's low cross was then set up by Raul Jimenez as Cavaleiro fired home the opener.

Wolves then doubled their lead three minutes from time when Matt Doherty found Jonny who was eventually able to control the ball and convert past Alex McCarthy.

Wolves' win meant Southampton dropped to 15th with victory propelling the home side into eighth on course towards the European places.

Southampton 0 Wolves 2 - 23rd August 2017 (EFL Cup)

Wolves secured victory at St Mary's after the previous year's runners-up fell at the second round.

Following a dull first half, Danny Batth gave the away side the lead heading home Ivan Cavaleiro's corner unchallenged inside the Saints' penalty box.

Despite manager Nuno Espirito Santo's 11 changes to the side from the previous game, his selections were further backed up when substitute Donovan Wilson latched onto Michael Zyro's through ball before lifting it over a helpless Fraser Forster three minutes from time as they secured their place in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Wolves 3 Southampton 0 - 10 April 2009

Wolves put three past Southampton in the opening 19 minutes to move closer to their goal of Premier League promotion back in 2009.

The home side took the lead after just 32 seconds when Sam Vokes headed home David Jones' corner.

Five minutes is all it took for Wolves to double their lead as Jody Craddock headed home Jones' cross as it looked to be another loss for relegation threatened Southampton.

Jones secured the points as he converted from the spot following a foul on David Edwards.

The win saw Wolves record their first home victory against Southampton for the first time since 1979 as they extended their lead to five points at the top of the Championship.

Southampton 1 Wolves 2 - 15th November 2008

Wolves were looking to extend their lead at the top of the Championship and their promotion push as they travelled to St Mary's when the sides met in 2008.

The away side had a near-perfect start scoring twice in just 17 minutes with goals coming from Chris Iwelumo and David Jones.

Iwelumo opened the scoring in the eighth minute heading home Carlos Edwards' cross before Edwards set up Jones who struck past Kelvin Davis.

Southampton looked set for a comeback when Alex Pearce pulled one back for the home side after being left unmarked from a corner.

However, this looked unlikely when Jason Euell was given a straight red card for jumping into a challenge with Stearman.

The visitors however hung on to stay six points from second placed Birmingham in their promotion push and record their first win at Southampton since 1980.

Wolves 2 Southampton 2 - 4 March 2008

Wolves and Southampton shared the points in a game full of goals and drama at Molineux in this encounter.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake gave the home side the lead with a powerful strike although it was then cancelled out by Gregory Vignal's penalty 15 minutes later as Kevin Foley fouled David McGoldrick inside the box.

Vignal was once again involved in the drama after then receiving his second yellow card of the evening as Southampton were reduced to 10 men by referee Colin Webster.

The ten men of Southampton held on until the 88th minute before Ebanks-Blake volleyed Wolves back in front just two minutes from time.

However, late drama saw the Saints' ten men battle back to rescue a point through Jason Euell's last minute equaliser.
