An early goal scored by "The Saints" at home defeated Aston Villa 1-0. The hosts started the game excellently, and in the 3rd minute of the match, Adam Armstrong scored a powerful shot. Although both teams created dangerous moments, "The Saints" were much more active and deservedly led at the end of the first half. In the first half of the second half, the visitors stepped up and created many more opportunities, but they failed to capitalize on them, and the result ended in a narrow victory for the hosts. It is already the second consecutive loss for the visitors, and it seems that Dean Smith's seat is getting hot. "Southampton" is currently in 12th place in the table, while "Aston Villa" is in 15th place.
