Newcastle Extend Away Winning Streak with Hard-Fought Victory Over Southampton

Newcastle United continued their impressive away form with a 3-1 win against Southampton at St. Mary’s, securing their fourth consecutive Premier League victory on the road. The result also plunged Southampton deeper into crisis, as they suffered a record-breaking sixth consecutive home league defeat.

The Saints started brightly and took the lead within the first 10 minutes, but Newcastle quickly responded. Alexander Isak equalized with a composed finish before netting his second just before halftime, cementing his place in the club’s history books as the first Newcastle player to score in five consecutive Premier League away games. The Swedish striker surpassed Peter Beardsley’s previous record of four, set in December 1993.

Newcastle added a third early in the second half, putting the game beyond Southampton’s reach. Despite the Saints’ efforts to claw back into the match, Newcastle’s defense held firm, and the Magpies dominated the xG battle with a commanding 2.87 compared to Southampton’s 0.76.

This win sees Newcastle achieve their longest run of away victories in the Premier League since October 1996, with only a five-game streak in October 1994 surpassing their current form. Southampton, meanwhile, are now in uncharted territory, having never lost six consecutive home league games in their history.

The victory provides Newcastle with a timely boost as they aim to solidify their position in the upper echelons of the table. Southampton, however, face an uphill battle to turn their season around and avoid relegation.
