Tyreke Johnson scored the only goal of the match as Southampton got their Premier League Cup campaign off to a winning start at Cardiff City.
Johnson (pictured top) struck a sensational winner with only 10 minutes remaining, collecting the ball on the halfway line before running and hitting in off the crossbar.
The goalscorer received a red card moments later for a mistimed challenge on George Ratcliffe.
The visitors might have won by more, with Nathan Tella, Jonathan Afolabi and Callum Slattery coming close, while Jack Rose made two vital stops in the second period to keep Cardiff at bay.
