Nathan Redmond scored his first goal since May this year to set Saints on their way.

Southampton won for the second consecutive week to keep Huddersfield Town in the relegation zone after a fifth straight defeat.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side were 2-0 up at the break thanks to Nathan Redmond's cool strike and a Danny Ings penalty.
The hosts improved after the break and halved the deficit through Philip Billing's swerving, long-range effort.


But 18-year-old substitute Michael Obafemi's first Premier League goal sealed the win for the Saints.
On the back of Southampton's first back-to-back wins since April 2017, the south coast side move one place up the table into 16th place.
Huddersfield, with just four goals scored at home so far this season, remain in 19th place and are without injured top scorer Aaron Mooy until February.
The Terriers were poor before half time, and on the back foot from the moment Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's through ball scurried through the legs of Terence Kongolo. allowing Redmond to race on to the pass and smash a first-time shot beyond Town keeper Jonas Lossl.
And just when it looked like the home side might mount a comeback, Christopher Schindler's mistake near the corner flag allowed Redmond to feed the impressive Obafemi, who steadied himself near the penalty spot before calmly rolling the ball home to put the Saints in a commanding position.
What's next?
The Terriers travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday, 26 December to face Manchester United at 15:00 GMT. Southampton get an extra day off, and face West Ham at home on Thursday, at 19:45.
