SOUTHAMPTON, England – Allan Saint-Maximin’s second-half strike gave Newcastle a 1-0 victory over 10-man Southampton on Saturday, ending the team’s four-match run without scoring in the Premier League.

Saint-Maximin gained possession on the right side of the field before running toward goal and putting the ball past goalkeeper Alex McCarthy in the 79th minute.

The win took Newcastle above the hosts and eight points clear of the relegation zone.
