    And Miguel Almiron, substitute Chris Wood, Joe Willock and Bruno Guimareas did just that by scoring the goals in this south coast romp.
    Romain Perraud notched a consolation goal but the damage had already been done.
    Almiron raced through a non-existent Southampton defence to bury the first on 35 minutes with that magician left wand of his.
    But watching England boss Gareth Southgate had to suffer a World Cup scare in the stands when Toon striker Callum Wilson didn’t reappear for the second half.

    Yet his replacement Wood added a second on 51 minutes with a crisp shot on the turn.
    And ten minutes later Willock raced through to bury Kieran Trippier’s excellent pass for the killer third. 
    Perraud gave the home fans something to cheer in the last minute but there was still time for Bruno to curl in a delicious fourth.
    This was a perfect anniversary present for Newcastle gaffer Eddie Howe who celebrated his 1st year at the club tomorrow.

    This was Toon’s fourth win in a row and takes their unbeaten run to nine games as they mount an unexpected title challenge.
    But Southampton’s run of one win in nine leaves manager Ralph Hasenhuttl hovering at the exit door.
    Whether the Austrian will still be around the south coast after the World Cup is anyone’s guess but the omens don’t look good.
    The Saints were going toe-toe with United at the start but their defence let them down again.
    And the forward line has a lot to be desired with Mohamed Elyounoussi missing an open goal right before the break.
    A goal then might have turned the tide but as the ball flew into the stand Hasenhuttl must have known his job was flying out of the stadium as well.

    Nottingham Forest 2 Brentford 2: Hosts escape with a point after calamitous last-minute own goal

    ZANKA’S last minute own-goal earned a dramatic point for bottom of the table Nottingham Forest and robbed Brentford of a first away win.Yoane Wissa looked to have won it for the Bees having tormented Dean Henderson either side of half-time.
    Nottingham Forest were rescued by an own goalCredit: Reuters
    The Brentford winger won an extremely controversial penalty having been brought down by the Forest keeper before completing the comeback by lobbing Henderson with 15 minutes to go.
    Morgan Gibbs-White’s first goal for the club had Forest ahead before Lee Mason stuck his nose in from the Stockley Park bunker, causing Andre Marriner to wrongly award the Bees a spot kick.
    In the absence of suspended top scorer and penalty specialist, Ivan Toney, winger Bryan Mbuemo fired past a furious Henderson – who had made contact with the ball before felling Wissa.
    The home fans finally had something to celebrate in the last minute of stoppage time, when a calamitous own goal brought them level.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    Having rolled over at The Emirates last Sunday, Forest were out to make Brentford uncomfortable here – even before a ball had been kicked.
    The Bees had been troubled ahead of kick-off when goalkeeping coach Manu Sotelo clashed with a Forest groundsman during the warm-up.
    And it wasn’t just the goalkeeping staff being caused problems by the hosts as David Raya twice had to stop Brennan Johnson in the opening 15 minutes.
    The Wales international drilled an early shot straight at the Spanish keeper before forcing a diving save minutes later with a shot across goal after racing onto Gibbs-White’s through ball.

    Having twice tried to set Johnson up to no avail, Gibbs-White took matters into his own hands.
    Emmanuel Dennis chested a long ball down to the former Wolves man. The No10 shuffled through Vitaly Janelt and Jensen before seeing his drilled effort deflect off Ben Mee and in.
    The hosts looked comfortable, but had the carpet pulled from under their feet thanks to a VAR clanger on the brink of half time.
    A quick and clever Mbuemo ball after a sloppy pass from Yates had Wissa through one-on-one.
    The forward looked to round Henderson, whose outstretched arm caught Wissa.
    Marriner waved away the claims for a spot kick, but Mason spent the next few minutes tediously rolling replays backwards and forwards – only to bottle it and send the man in the middle to the screen, resulting in a wrong decision which could cost Forest dearly.
    Yoane Wissa filled in for the suspended Ivan ToneyCredit: Reuters
    Replays showed that Henderson got the slightest touch on the ball with his hand before bringing Wissa down, but Marriner pointed to the spot and booked the England keeper.
    Mbuemo sent Henderson the wrong way from the spot, and the Manchester United loanee was up in a shot to chase the ref down the pitch screaming his protest at the decision – risking a second booking and an early shower.
    Forest had more reason to rage at the referee just after the hour mark when Gibbs-White forced his way to the by-line and was tripped by Mee as he looked to cut inside.
    Just as Forest were seeking out a winner, Wissa struck at the other end – this time without the help of VAR.
    Jensen clipped a superb first time ball over the Forest back line and the Congo international tidied up with an inspired finish.
    Wissa raced clear of Steve Cook and Scott McKenna before lobbing Henderson with a first time finish to secure Brentford’s first away win of the season.
    The hosts threw everything at Brentford across six minutes of injury time, and finally struck gold when Gibbs-White’s effort was blocked by Mee, only for the rebound to hit substitute Zanka and cross the line.

    A goal within the first two minutes from Shaun Whalley opened the scoring for Accrington, before Crawley found an equaliser, which came via Jake Hessenthaler.
    However, it was the visitors who regained the lead halfway through the first half, as Shaun Whalley doubled his goal tally for the day.

    That’s all from the Emirates Stadium
    Arsenal secure their spot in the Europa League round-of-16 with a narrow 1-0 win over Zurich.
    The Gunners will now turn attention to Sunday’s highly anticipated London derby against Chelsea in the Premier League.
    Thank you for reading, and goodnight!
    Mikel Arteta reacts
    When speaking to BT Sport, the Arsenal boss said: “Job done.
    “It is not easy to win that many games in Europe. I don’t think it was the prettiest game we have played but we managed to win it.
    “I think we had chances, especially early in the game and at the end of the first half to get it into a more comfortable position.
    “We didn’t do that. We did not control the game well enough, especially in the second half. At the end, we were a bit leggy I think.
    “We gave them one or two chances but managed not to concede and keep a clean sheet and win.
    “We have been rotating. I think we are the team that have been rotating the most in Europe today. Players deserve chances and minutes and also the amount of games we play means we cannot maintain the intensity and players being fit.
    “We have all the games and fixtures in our minds to try and be competitive all the time. Today was really important. We know how important it is going to be with all the teams playing in February. Winning helps winning.
    “The atmosphere in the dressing room is much better after a win than a loss.”

    Kieran Tierney reacts
    When speaking to BT Sport, the left-back said: “We wanted to get the game done by 60-70 minutes and score a couple of goals, but we never done that.
    “I thought we saw the game out. They put a lot of pressure on us but we saw it out well.
    “We had to show fight and hunger because they came here with so much of that. We knew they would.
    “Their last couple of results have been good so they have grown in confidence. We dealt quite well, it’s just a pity we couldn’t score a couple more.
    “We won 5-0 a few days ago so it’s not like this [struggling for a second goal] happens all the time. Teams win 1-0. As long as we get a clean sheet we are confident we will score.
    “I want to play every game I can. I have to keep working hard. The manager knows I will give 100% whether I start or not.”

    Real night of celebration for Sociedad
    Despite losing the game tonight, it is a real carnival atmosphere in the ground as players and fans celebrate together after finishing top of Europa League Group E.

    Sociedad can look forward to the ’round of 16′ draw now with celebrations likely to go on long into the night.

    They came out in the second half and played like a side who were content with the 1-0 scoreline they had.
    United did not carve out enough goal scoring chances and did not test the Real Sociedad keeper enough.

    This leaves them with the reality of a play-off against one of the sides who finished third in their Champions League group.
    The prospect of facing the likes of Barcelona, Juventus, Sevilla or Ajax.
