A Danny Ings penalty gave Southampton their first goal in six games.
Alvaro Morata scored twice as Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-1 to give Maurizio Sarri a record-equalling start to Premier League management.
Morata’s first-half strike was cancelled out by Andros Townsend as Chelsea struggled to subdue their vibrant visitors, for whom Wilfried Zaha starred.
But Eden Hazard, back from a threegame absence with a back problem, provided the striker’s second with his first touch, sending over a free-kick which Morata diverted into the net.
