Felipe Anderson’s double helped West Ham come from behind to beat Southampton 2-1 at St Mary’s and move into the top half of the Premier League.
After a quiet first half, the hosts took the lead in scrappy fashion through Nathan Redmond after Lukasz Fabianski had parried his initial effort.

But West Ham were only behind for three minutes before Anderson’s 20-yard low strike beat Alex McCarthy.
The third goal – all in nine minutes – came again from Anderson, who powerfully shot home after being released by Michail Antonio to put the Hammers ahead.
