Wolves 1, Saints 4
WOLVES' hopes of Premiership survival took a battering as Saints condemned them to their fourth successive defeat. James Beattie fired the visitors ahead after Jody Craddock lost control.
Claus Lundekvam poked in his first-ever Saints goal from close range, but Henri Camara narrowed the deficit after springing the visitors' offside trap.
Wolves pressed for an equaliser but they left gaps - and Kevin Phillips was twice able to find space to fire home in the dying minutes to seal the win.
It was Southampton's third away win of the season and moved them to ninth in the Premiership.
Saints boss Paul Sturrock said he was delighted for Lundekvam.
He said: "I've given him stick on the training ground but I'm very pleased for him although he was at fault for Camara's goal."
