Wolverhampton Wanderers mounted a second-half comeback to beat Southampton 2-1 on Sunday, avenging their FA Cup loss to the Saints and inflicting a sixth league defeat in a row on Ralph Hasenhuettl's side. Danny Ings put the home side, who ran out 2-0 victors in the Cup fifth round at Molineux on Thursday, into the lead with a fine volley after being picked out by Stuart Armstrong 25 minutes in. The game-changing moment came in the 52nd minute when Graham Scott awarded a penalty when Nelson Semedo's cross hit Ryan Bertrand's arm. Ruben Neves made no mistake in beating Alex McCarthy from the penalty spot. "I think we shouldn't discuss about our run. We know what happened today, it's hard to explain this defeat," Hasenhuettl said after the match. "Until their penalty, they had no chances at goal." Pedro Neto sealed the win with a cracking solo goal in the 66th minute, side-stepping Jannik Vestergaard before striking the ball past McCarthy from an acute angle. "It was a very tough game, both halves were very tough," Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said. "In the first half, Southampton managed the game. In the second half we were on the front foot, scored two goals and then defended very well."
