Southampton host Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday but what happened the last time the two sides met?

Newcastle claimed their first point of the season in a thrilling 2-2 draw in August - but were denied a maiden win by James Ward-Prowse's 96th-minute penalty for the Saints.

Callum Wilson had punished Southampton's first-half wastefulness in front of goal by heading Newcastle in front just before the hour.

Mohammed Elyounoussi bundled home at the second attempt to draw Saints level before Allan Saint-Maximin sparked bedlam at St James' Park with what appeared to be the winner a minute into added time.

However, the video assistant referee spotted a foul by Jamaal Lascelles on Adam Armstrong and Saints skipper Ward-Prowse slammed home the spot-kick.

The draw kept both sides winless three games in but it did end Southampton's seven-match losing run on the road.
