Adam Armstrong scored the game’s lone goal in Southampton’s 1-0 victory over Everton at home, marking their first Premier League victory of the year. After two seasons and eight league losses, there were growing rumors that the St. Mary’s Stadium would need a new management to prevent relegation.
Furthermore, Russell Martin’s team, who had previously struggled with goal scoring and erratic defense at the start of the season, suffered a serious blow with the back-to-back comeback losses to Arsenal and Leicester City. However, the Saints’ ten-game Premier League losing record has come to an end as they secured their first three points of the season with their first clean sheet.

The 27-year-old star fullback Kyle Walker-Peters recently discussed how crucial it is to take the first league victory as a crucial step in preventing relegation. As a result, Southampton’s match against Stoke City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup was crucial, and even though they made two defensive errors again, they managed to win 3-2 in the closing minutes.
Russell Martin’s team so capitalized on their strong start and put on a valiant defensive effort to keep the visitors from scoring. In the closing minutes of the game, struggling Southampton star Adam Armstrong scored his first league goal of the season to lead the home team to a thrilling 1-0 victory, rewarding their defensive tenacity.
Manager Russell Martin was absolutely delighted with his side’s all-round performance after securing a much-needed first Premier League win, saying, “It was a big relief, happiness, gratitude and pride in the players and the staff and the supporters and the owners and the board.”

Martin expressed gratitude to Southampton’s supporters and club owners for their unwavering faith in the team, which helped them secure a significant Premier League victory. Additionally, his unexpected choice to substitute Adam Armstrong for Tyler Dibling paid off, as the 27-year-old put aside his Premier League difficulties to score.
Before the next international break, Southampton will play Wolves on the road. A victory in this game might keep the Saints out of the relegation zone and keep up their incredible momentum for the next games.
