SOUTHAMPTON CLAIMED THEIR first Premier League point at St James’ Park since 2001 with a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.
Jay Rodriguez’s seventh goal in all competitions this season cancelled out a first-half opener from Yoan Gouffran, the Frenchman’s fourth strike in his last four home matches.
Both sides had chances to win it in what proved to be a very open second half, with Loic Remy guilty of spurning a glorious one-on-one opportunity late on.
Ultimately, however, Southampton saw their winless league run extended to five games, while the hosts were denied a sixth victory in their last seven top-flight fixtures.
