Premier League result: Jacob Ramsey scores as Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa pick up a much-needed win over Southampton at Villa Park

Luiz on.

The officials analyse the replays for a potential offside, but there's no reprieve for the Saints - the goal stands.

Ramsey knocks in the rebound after Bazunu had tipped Watkins's header on to the bar.

Coutinho arrives late at the far post to head Young's floated cross but his effort is too close to the keeper.

The home side have been the better side in the last 10 minutes or so but there is a distinct lack of quality in both final thirds.

Southampton have gone 17 top-flight away matches without a clean sheet for the first time since May 1990 to March 1991. Their club top-flight record is 21 games between September 1988 and September 1989.

Coutinho jinks in from the left, turns his marker inside out and then rifles a 25-yard thunderbolt just over the top.

A fine run and cross from Bailey has the Saints defence at full stretch. The hosts keep the heat on from a corner but can't manufacture a shot on target.

We are still waiting for this contest to ignite.

Elyounoussi darts into space on the left side of the area. He turns his marker and plays a low ball into the middle, but Konsa is well placed to snuff out the danger.

The Saints keeper the pressure on and Ward-Prowse sees a 22-yard drive well blocked by Ramsey.

Bailey again wastes a good opening on the right with a tame and unconvincing attempt at a cross. Young tries to follow up with a ball in-behind for Watkins but the forward misjudges the weight of the pass.

The home defence repel a succession of deliveries from the gifted feet of Ward-Prowse on the left flank.

Watkins and Coutinho combine to feed Bailey on the right side of the box. He fakes the shot and then dallies a bit more before being crowded out as he looked to pull the trigger.

The visitors have had a good spell and the majority of the Villa Park crowd aren't too impressed. They are expecting their side to dominate and kick on from the draw with Man City here.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Fulham.

Taiwo Awoniyi on target.

Djenepo surges down the right and fires a dangerous cross towards Adams that Konsa does brilliantly to hook clear inside his own six-yard box.

Southampton have earned 13 points from their last five Friday fixtures, keeping a clean sheet in all four victories.

Leon Bailey cuts in from the right and curls a harmless cross-shot wide of the near post after a wonderful 30-yard ball from Coutinho set him free.
