Cyle Larin scored twice as Southampton crushed Millwall 5-1, shattering their perfect start. Mark Sykes opened scoring but Larin's brace, Finn Azaz's tap-in, Leo Scienza's penalty and Tom Fellows' first goal sealed the win. The Canadian striker has four goals in three matches, taking his tally to 12 in 19 appearances.

Southampton erased their four-point 'Spygate' deduction while Millwall suffered their first loss of the season. Alex Neil's side dominated after an early goal, with Ryan Manning hitting the post and Tairyk Arconte forcing a save. Larin equalized from a deep free-kick before Scienza set up Azaz for a tap-in.

James Ward-Prowse's substitution sparked further pressure, leading to a penalty converted by Scienza after Azaz was fouled. Larin added another stunning volley in the 62nd minute. Tom Fellows scored his first for the club, celebrating a year at St Mary's.

The victory marked Southampton's 12th consecutive home match unbeaten. Manager Tonda Eckert and Alex Neil's comments remain 'To follow...'. Upcoming Championship fixtures are listed.
