Adam Armstrong scored his eighth goal of the season as Southampton eased to a 3-1 Championship victory and condemned Wayne Rooney to a third straight defeat as Birmingham manager.
Armstrong now has eight career goals against the Blues, more than the forward has scored against any other side, as he settled the game with a fine finish. He had set up Taylor Harwood-Bellis’s opener before Carlos Alcaraz tapped in – both players’ first goals of the season. Jay Stansfield pulled one back for the visitors but it could not help end Rooney’s winless run.
