The Southampton sub struck with a stunning 90th-minute free-kick to save Will Still from defeat in his first game in charge.

He then delivered the cross for skipper Jack Stephens to thump in a dramatic 96th-minute winner.

But this was a harsh welcome to the Championship for Phil Parkinson's men, who had started the game strongly.
