Southampton Trump Brentford In First Home Game After Takeover

Southampton trounced Brentford 4-1 to go up to 11th place in the Premier League, ahead of new Saints owner Dragan Solak.

Jan Bednarek opened the scoring for the hosts with a header from James Ward Prowse’s left-wing corner.

Vitaly Janelt’s fantastic sliced volley after Bryan Mbeumo’s cross equalized Brentford with their first shot on target.

Ibrahima Diallo’s goalbound shot deflected off the post and off Bees goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez, resulting in an own goal for the Saints.

Armando Broja raced on to Oriel Romeu’s superb through ball and neatly finished past Fernandez shortly after the restart, giving the hosts a third goal.

This was Southampton’s first home game since it was announced earlier this month that the Sport Republic company had purchased GAO JISHENG’s 80 percent interest in the club.

Dragan Solak, a Serb media billionaire who backed the acquisition financially, was present at St Mary’s and witnessed his new team’s sixth league win of the season.

The Saints have now moved ahead of Brentford, who have dropped to 13th after missing out on a chance to climb into the top half of the table.
