Solitary strike enough for Saints

Sam Hoskins` tidy finish saw Southampton defeat Eastleigh 1-0 at the Silverlake Stadium. The 17-year-old linked up with fellow striker Ryan Doble on the edge of the box before beating Gareth Barfoot with a low shot. It might have been a different story had Richard Gillespie header moments before bounced in off the crossbar instead of into Bartosz Bialkowski`s arms. The Polish keeper then produced a fine reflex save to stop Jamie Brown`s header in the second half.
