Carlos Alcaraz thought he’d put the desperate host in front, but the goal was disallowed for offside, then Carlos Vinicius headed home an opener for the visitors early into the second half, before Aleksandar Mitrovic doubled the lead.

A win might have delayed the inevitable for the Saints, but the result made it certain that they’ll be playing Championship football next season.
