Southampton × Millwall · Championship

Southampton hammered Millwall 5-1 at home in the Championship on Saturday 29 August at 15:00 BST. Mark Sykes gave the visitors the lead on 15 minutes, but Cyle Larin levelled on 25 and Finn Azaz put the hosts in front on 38. Léo Scienza converted a penalty on 55, Larin struck again on 62 and Tom Fellows completed the rout on 86.

Millwall's lead lasted only until Larin's equaliser and they never scored again. Southampton took over from there, two goals before the interval and three after it, with Scienza's spot kick early in the second half killing the contest and Larin's second leaving nothing to play for. Fellows added the last one late on. The scoreline flatters nobody: it simply records how one-sided the afternoon became.

For the archive: this was the game in which Larin scored twice for Southampton in the Championship, and a match that began with the away side ahead ended as a five goal home win. Millwall led between the 15th and 25th minutes and spent the rest of the afternoon chasing a game that had already gone.
