GALLERY: Southampton v West Bromwich Albion THEREFORE much for the end-of-season kick-about. Itas impossible Marc-Antoine Fortune will forget his most eventful sport for Albion, since the Baggies took their Premier League things total to a record-breaking 48. A brilliant display was produced by the Albion striker for the initial 70 minutes of the game, before it went horribly wrong. He Won the very first target at St Maryas, put up Romelu Lukaku for his 2nd before then getting himself sent down for shoving Gaston Ramirez in the facial skin. He'll skip the next three games today a' returning just for the final game against Manchester United. Southampton, meanwhile, finished the match with seven men after Ramirez was sent off in the event which generated Fortuneas dismissal a the Uruguayan was red-carded for elbowing Shane Long. He was followed closely by Danny Fox, who recklessly slid into Steven Reid with both legs. It absolutely was Long who scored Albionas third some 12 minutes from time to assure the clubas first victory at Southampton since 1969. Like Fortune, it really wasnat a casino game Robert Madley could be forgetting for a time. The Premier Leagueas hottest umpire showed three red cards. All were appropriate. Blocked It absolutely was a bright start for the hosts. Adam Lallana submitted a first-minute combination which necessitated an act of bravery from Ben Foster a the Albion goalkeeper distributing herself across the field to seize hold of the ball. Yet It absolutely was Albion who went forward. Graham Dorransa part was acquired by the pinnacle of Gareth McAuley. The ball continued its journey towards the field, with Lukaku going on. Fortune nudged the ball goalbound simply to find his way blocked by Boruc. The Southampton owner couldnat keep hold of the ball, allowing it to be bundled by Fortune over the point regardless of the attempts of Danny Fox to clear. Southampton carried their very own dangers. Lallana was a certain annoyance down the best side. 3 x within the opening 15 minutes he was granted time and space to start crosses. At Another end Albion would have had another on 19 minutes. Claudio Yacob instigated the move, Morrison flicked the ball into Longas way, who returned a cross to Dorrans. The Scotland midfielder introduced Lukaku, who nipped past Southamptonas defense but saw his picture saved by Boruc. Referee Madley wasnat making himself favored by the home fans. Jos Hooiveld was scheduled in the minute for pulling right back Fortune. Dorransa free-kick found Jonas Olsson at the post. His header flew throughout the target a' too high and too powerful for Lukaku to pounce. Albion were motoring well. Activity was great, passing was scientific. Dorrans was at the centre of an instant transfer which launched Long. The Albion No.9 may have played in Fortune, who'd galloped alongside him to take up a great place on the left a' Long plumped for a shot, striking a high shot over the bar. Effort was wasted by a. The Potent each time was looked by baggies they went at night half-way mark. Southampton were actually fighting the intensity the guests were featuring each time they broke. Boruc was again tried on 45 minutes. Once again Fortune was the architect, releasing Long who handed to Lukaku. The Albion manas shot hit the bottom and was obtained by the Poland global. Southampton triggered Ramirez at half-time for Jack Cork. There is more power concerning the house sideas second-half. They almost found themselves degree when Nathaniel Clyneas corner covered the top of Fosteras crossbar. Off the industry, Albion supporters were enjoying themselves as effects from the Championship started to filter through. On the message it had been all becoming Just a little flat. And then came the explosion. A fantastic 67th moment cross from Fortune found Lukaku in place. He skipped around Boruc and put the ball into the clear target. And from there it all went horribly wrong for Fortune. A ball was chased by ramirez with Long and, as he did so elbowed the Albion man in the facial skin. As recriminations followed, Fortune piled in and pushed the Sothampton man in the face. Both Ramirez and Fortune were given right red cards. From Albionas standpoint, it didnat matter. The overall game was over in the 78th minute. Lukaku found Long on the left wing. The Republic of Ireland man continued his rundown the left and drilled a low shot past Boruc. Three-nil. The crisis still wasnat around. Ex-Walsall guy Fox slid into Reid with a terrible two-footed lunge. It was an unhealthy problem, which persuaded Madley to produce his next red card of the morning.
