Theo Walcott is having a great half. He goes on a run in the middle but is pushed out wide.

Jamal Lewis takes it off him but Walcott hunts down the clearance and Southampton have the ball again in midfield.

"And now you're going to believe us..."

If only fans were back. Rubbish.

John Shaw: Anyone got any altitude sickness tablets?

Theo Walcott and Che Adams are playing together really nicely. Walcott dummies the ball in the middle, leaving it for Adams, who flicks it on to Stuart Armstrong behind him.

He's just offside. Nice move though.

James Ward-Prowse's delivery isn't his best. Federico Fernandez doesn't connect with the clearance properly though and Fabian Schar has to race across to get it away before Jack Stephens gets there.

Southampton are still on top. They press Newcastle into giving the ball away in their half again.

Moussa Djenepo then has silky feet in the box and he wins a corner on the right.

Stuart Armstrong touches it on with the back of his heel beautifully for James Ward-Prowse and suddenly, Southampton have opened Newcastle up.

Theo Walcott has made the run in behind but it's a poor ball from Ward-Prowse.

Theo Walcott has been directly involved in more Premier League goals against Newcastle than any other opponent in his career (11 - five goals, six assists)

He has assisted a goal in three of his last four Premier League starts for Southampton and Everton combined.

Josh: Another assist for Theo Walcott; credit where it is due, seems to be recapturing his form at Southampton so far this season after an anonymous last few seasons or so at this level. Sensible addition to the Southampton squad.

Theo Walcott does well, driving through the middle and getting past Fabian Schar. It's bundled around the edge of the box and Moussa Djenepo's shot is eventually blocked.

Newcastle try to break through Allan Saint-Maximin but he's brought down by a sliding Oriol Romeu. He gets a yellow for it.

Jacob Murphy does well initially - moving the ball around midfield and linking up with Miguel Almiron.

He eventually loses it though and Almiron then sprints to win it back immediately. He does really well and ends up getting clipped from behind when he carries it out from the back.

Much better from Newcastle. They're starting to get a grip on the possession, finding Allan Saint-Maximin who's picking it up in the pockets and he's direct, drives it, so quick, so powerful and so quick with his feet technically as well. They need to get him on the ball more because you can not stop him.

Newcastle have settled now. They have slowed the game down and Southampton have dropped back into shape.

Jamal Lewis is picked out in space on the left but his cross is cleared by Jack Stephens.

Sean Longstaff then nods it straight at Alex McCarthy but he was always stretching for it.

There's a clear identity at Southampton - it's so good, their recruitment, the philosophy and how they've backed the players and the manager. Che Adams has fit in so well and the manager is doing so well.

Quick! Take a screenshot!

Callum Wilson could have a go himself but he tries to pick out Allan Saint-Maximin to his left.

James Ward-Prowse races back to make the interception. Corner to Newcastle.

This is already better than the 0-0 between Brighton and Burnley.

Newcastle are just trying to keep the ball for a few minutes now.

James Ward-Prowse is sharp in the middle to win the ball back for Southampton.

Theo Walcott has options left and right - Stuart Armstrong was calling for it. But he tries to curl it towards the top right corner and skews it completely.

Wake up, Newcastle!

Che Adams has scored in three of Southampton's eight league games this season (three goals), as many different Premier League matches he had found the net in in 30 appearances last term (four goals).
