Saints Under-23s are back in Premier League 1 after winning at St Mary’s last night
Dan N’Lundulu was denied what would have been a sensational solo goal by a tremendous save before giving Saints took a 39th-minute lead.
A weak punch clear from a Tyreke Johnson corner fell to the striker, who headed in the opener from six yards.
Saints doubled their lead in the 54th minute when Jake Vokins' chip to the back post, was headed across goal by Johnson only to deflect in off a defender.
