Wolverhampton Wanderers mounted a second-half comeback to beat Southampton 2-1 on Sunday, avenging their FA Cup loss to the Saints and inflicting a sixth league defeat in a row on Ralph Hasenhuettl's side.
Danny Ings put the home side, who ran out 2-0 victors in the Cup fifth round at Molineux on Thursday, into the lead with a fine volley after being picked out by Stuart Armstrong 25 minutes in.
The game-changing moment came in the 52nd minute when Graham Scott awarded a penalty when Nelson Semedo's cross hit Ryan Bertrand's arm. Ruben Neves made no mistake in beating Alex McCarthy from the penalty spot.
"I think we shouldn't discuss about our run. We know what happened today, it's hard to explain this defeat," Hasenhuettl said after the match. "Until their penalty, they had no chances at goal."
Pedro Neto sealed the win with a cracking solo goal in the 66th minute, side-stepping Jannik Vestergaard before striking the ball past McCarthy from an acute angle.
"It was a very tough game, both halves were very tough," Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said.
"In the first half, Southampton managed the game. In the second half we were on the front foot, scored two goals and then defended very well."

What is the FNC?
The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning.
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval.
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.
