Premier League 2017/18: 5 talking points from gameweek two's action 

#5 Thriller scripted by Southampton and West Ham

Charlie Austin's strike capped a sensational late surge from Southampton

A difficult game to be a manager and a nice game to be a fan. It was unpredictable until the end and suddenly it changed the dynamic twice - once for them and another for us: Mauricio Pellegrino

The one thing that Southampton desperately wanted after a frustrating low against Swansea in the previous week was a well-earned win at home, before their own crowd.

That is exactly what they got in this week's action.

However, it did not come easy for the hosts. They were leading West Ham 2-0 at the stroke of half time, and looked poised for an easy win after Marko Arnautovic was sent off to reduce the visitors to ten men at 33 minutes.

That's when life was suddenly infused in Slaven Bili?'s men, as they scripted an inspired comeback riding on the back of Javier Hernandez's double strike, which tied the scoreline at 2 goals each.

It looked like a side that was reduced to ten men would manage to hold off another home victory for Southampton, a side that had failed to score a home-goal since April 2017.

However, substitute Charlie Austin's calmness changed it from misery to magic for the Saints in the last lap of the game. He converted a penalty into a winner, having gotten the opportunity courtesy Pablo Zabaleta's dash against Maya Yoshida.

Southampton's 6-match wait for a home-goal ended in a match that their fans would remember and cherish for a long, long time.

Sometimes, its an ugly, ragged win that turns things around for a struggling side. Will this be that chance for that Mauricio Pellegrino and his men?
