Southampton vs West Ham United

West Ham pulled off a stunning turnaround at St Mary's, coming from behind to thrash Southampton 4-1 in the Carabao Cup second round. It looked like a night for the hosts when Léo Scienza put them ahead inside ten minutes, but the visitors had other ideas. Joshua Ajala leveled things with a header just before the break (41') and struck again early in the second half (53') to complete his brace and turn the game on its head. Valentín Castellanos made it three in the 75th minute, and Jarrod Bowen capped off the rout in the 84th, both having been introduced in a round of second-half substitutions that reshaped the game. For West Ham, it's a confidence-boosting cup win built on a ruthless second-half response. For Southampton, an early lead squandered means a swift exit from the competition and fresh questions about seeing out matches against sharper opposition.
