Summary

  1. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 2-1 Wrexham

    Extraordinary.

    How we have missed this mayhem.

    Wrexham were so good in that first half, they deserved their lead, given to them by Josh Windass' penalty after Kieffer Moore was shoved over in the box. They might have had more goals too, with Windass hitting the bar and a couple of other chances going close.

    Saints woke up late in the first half, with Jay Robinson hitting the post, but although they dominated the ball and territory in the second half, Wrexham still had the better chances, Lewis O'Brien unable to convert when racing clear and Ryan Hardie being denied by a crucial fingertip save by Gavin Bazunu.

    In the end it was Ryan Manning who changed the tide for Will Still, sent on with 18 minutes to go, curling a gorgeous 25-yard free-kick in to equalise with seconds of normal time to play and then rolling across the box for Jack Stephens to slam home the winner in the 96th minute.

    If this is anything to go by, this might well turn out to be the best Championship season of all time.

    It's that ball over the top and we win it.

    This goes back to that Bazunu save.

    What an impact Ryan Manning has had.

  3. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Big shout for a penalty and it looks as though Thomas Kaminski has got away with one there.

    The Charlton keeper and Nestory Irankunda are in a footrace for a ball on the right side of the Addicks area and the striker wins it and crosses.

    Kaminski is committed to the challenge and brings him down.

    Jack Stephens (90+6 mins)

    Welcome back to the Championship.....

    Absolute mayhem in the Wrexham box as a long diagonal beats Ryan Longman and drops to Ryan Manning who fires across the six yard box from the left of the area where Jack Stephens slides in at the far post to slam home via the underside of the crossbar.

    What a comeback.

    What a match.

    What an impact Ryan Manning has made.

    Southampton 1-1 Wrexham

    It's all Saints now. They have won a couple of corners, but can they make them count?

    Cameron Archer can't quite stretch his neck muscles enough to get a decisive touch on a looping header in the box and the ball drifts wide for a goal-kick.

  6. 'Saints need to move ball quicker'published at 14:24 British Summer Time 9 August

    Jo Tessem
    Ex-Southampton midfielder on BBC Radio Solent

    Southampton need to move the ball a little bit quicker and try and stretch Wrexham because they are so tired now.

    It's been one way traffic but it's just that slowness on the ball but we have done all we can to get that second goal.

  7. CLOSE!published at 14:22 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Robert Apter picks up the ball on the right front edge and dances across just outside the 18 yard area looking for an opening.

    His has a go but his curling effort from 20 yards just fizzes over the upright.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:21 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 1-1 Wrexham

    The temperature was hot anyway but it's gone up a notch...

    James McClean is penalised for a barge on Ryan Fraser and Saints have a free-kick and he has a caution.

    They think they can turn it around in stoppage-time... and they might yet. We're into the six added minutes.

    What a moment for Ryan Manning and that has really helped Will Still at the start of his tenure

    Ex Stockport County striker and summer capture Isaac Olaofe makes his debut for Charlton as Sony Carey gives way.

    It almost feels like both teams are settling for this draw.

    It did have another goal in it...

    George Dobson brings down Shea Charles 25 yards out and what a free-kick from Ryan Manning... bend, whip, power, left-footed, curling away from Danny Ward and inside the post.

    The roof comes off St Mary's.

    Saints' finishing has been a little suspect, but that goal makes up for all of it.

  13. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull City

    Well, well, well.

    Eight minutes of time added on at the end of this one.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 14:18 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    What a save from Gavin Bazunu.

    Saints go to sleep at the back and Ryan Hardie pounces, going into the box and firing in a bobbling shot which the big keeper somehow gets down to his left to fingertip around the upright.

    How crucial could that be?

    Wrexham could have been out of sight. But this game feels like it has another goal in it...

  15. Postpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Long throw from the right from Watford causes panic in the six yard area as Kayne Ramsay fluffs his first attempt to clear.

    Fortunately for him the ball sticks beneath his feet and he hacks away with no Watford striker pressing.

    He gets a big pat on his back from Egil Selvik for his efforts.

  16. 'Panicky from Saints'published at 14:16 British Summer Time 9 August

    It's a bit panicky from Southampton. You need quality in front of goal because you never score if you panic.

  17. Postpublished at 14:15 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Wrexham fans are loving their new keeper.

    Singing debutant Danny Ward's name as he comes off his line to claim a long throw into the mixer and relieve the pressure on his backline, for a moment at least.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:15 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Kevin Keben gives away a needless free kick on Watford's right flank, nudging Josh Edwards in the back as he shepherded the ball out.

    It comes to nothing as Watford clear but that was Edwards' final contribution as he is repalced by Macauley Gillesphey.

    Tyreese Campbell's race is run as well as he gives way for Harvey Knibbs.

  19. Postpublished at 14:15 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull City

    Just a shade over five minutes to play.

    We're heading towards a first goalless draw between these two sides since October 2010.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Saints fans are getting frustrated as Wrexham are slowing the game down.

    Liberato Cacace's debut is over, James McClean is getting a warm welcome as he emerges from the Wrexham bench.

    Six minutes of normal time and similar of added time to come, you'd expect.

    Wrexham are withstanding the pressure, so far...
