Southampton came from two goals down to beat Burnley 3-2 at St Mary’s Stadium.
Burnley were 2-0 up after 28 minutes as Chris Wood scored a penalty before setting up Matej Vydra to net a thumping half-volley.
But Southampton fought back and went into half-time level. Danny Ings teed up Stuart Armstrong on 31 minutes before the striker marked his return from injury with a great piece of skill and composure to equalise.
James Ward-Prowse crashed an effort against the crossbar and Nick Pope made stunning saves from Armstrong and Ings before Nathan Redmond volleyed in to complete the turnaround on 66 minutes.
Burnley might have rescued a late point but Wood was twice denied by Fraser Forster.
Southampton’s first Premier League double over Burnley lifts them to 13th on 36 points, two places and three points above the Clarets.
