Che Adams scored the winner with four minutes remaining to get Russell Martin’s tenure as Southampton manager off to a winning start with victory at Sheffield Wednesday in a thoroughly entertaining opener to the new Championship season.

They could, and perhaps should, have been further ahead too before the hosts responded with real gusto after the break.
