Match Centre: Southampton 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday

Struggling Sheffield Wednesday have lost 2-0 at promotion-chasing Southampton after two goals in six minutes sealed victory for the Saints.

Defender Jose Fonte headed in the opener on the hour mark before Ricky Lambert then added a second just six minutes later.

The Owls had travelled south with the stinging criticism of chairman Milan Mandaric ringing in their ears after he called their league position a ‘frustration and an embarrassment’

His mood is not likely to have improved after this result.
