Southampton and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale cheekily taunt opponents Everton who end up having a goal, scored by Beto, disallowed late on.
The Saints beat Everton 1-0 for their first Premier League win of season; Adam Armstrong scoring a late winner after Beto struck the crossbar with close-range header.
Beto then had his 89th-minute equaliser ruled out by VAR for offside; with Aaron Ramsdale also seen cheekily taunting his opponents.

90+1: Beto has the ball in the net, but a VAR check rules out the goal for offside. 😅 [1-0]

Everton manager Sean Dyche said: “Our shape was good, our play was good, we made enough chances away from home to win the game. The big calls didn’t go for us either, particularly the one where Beto goes straight through. How that’s not a sending-off, I don’t know. He’s inside the V as the referees work on.
“I know their defender, I don’t think he’s that quick to get around him from there but we don’t get those big decisions often.
“It’s not only a sloppy goal, we should have scored at the other end. They get a breakaway, sometimes that happens from a misshapen team. We had plenty of desire to get back and they got that out of nothing at that stage of the game.”
Southampton manager Russell Martin said:
“It’s huge for us as a team, as a group, as a club, and the clean sheet as well. We played some beautiful football, some brilliant football and had to dig in at times. Rambo (Aaron Ramsdale) made a couple of brilliant saves.
“We scored a goal, which comes from their attacking set play and amazing composure in our box. It starts there with the guys not just clearing the ball and staying so brave. I’m really proud of them for that. It’s a really good goal.
“I’m really grateful to the boys for sticking through some tough moments today as well as sticking with what we want to be and who we want to be.
On Beto’s disallowed equaliser: “The angle we had on the iPad in the dugout it looked so tight. We were probably pessimistic at that point. I’m glad it’s gone for us. I guess that’s what VAR was there for and the players deserved it.”

Here’s how fans reacted as Southampton and Aaron Ramsdale cheekily taunt Everton who end up having a late goal disallowed…
@SFCAlfie1885: I love this club
@ms_1878: Getting the piss taken out of us by fucking Southampton epitomises the Kenshite and Moshiri era
@kiko_tyla: Admin deserves a raise for this lmao
@Jack_Adamss: Love you, you shithouse @AaronRamsdale98
@ChunkieG: Dyche needs to go… his lack of tactics, lack of progression with the team and his stubbornness to stick by players that aren’t performing.
@CitizenSuburbia: Bang in trouble. Those defending our record by selectively choosing stats need to remember what we did last season is irrelevant now. Its 9 pts in 10 games & we have a horrid run of fixtures
@bluenozebri: Someone has to make a decision on dyche now… woeful….. Calvert lewin is lazy….drop him…. Pathetic
@Dec__Golf: Lost to the worst team in the league by a mile. Dyche out.
@paulEfC1975: A better manager sets up to win not concede 60 possession against bottom of the league opposition
@josh1hogan: 6 important points dropped. If that level of play and game management continue – we won’t win another game until January.
@JulieHob1878: Disgraceful. I’m embarrassed lads
@ianspeny: Sack him now #Dycheout
@EFCLewis: Sack him now
@Degzy12: Sorry. No more excuses. This is all on the manager. Enough is enough
@ChrisKearns9: Wrong centre forward playing again @Everton. Beto should be starting and then him and Broja should be fighting for the shirt.
@Tom_efc1: SACK DINOSAUR DYCHE
@DaAlexJohnson: I’ll shout it at the empty coffers – Dyche Out! He’s clueless, he’s arrogant, and he’s inflexible. We can do so much better with this squad. McNeil in the middle (esp after not training all week), Ndiaye subbed off, JB on the bench again. NO MORE #EFC @USAToffeePod
@HFOTC1878: Feel so sly on all the away fans who travelled down for that shite. Scary how many blues still back Dyche.
Aaron Ramsdale, England No1. 🧤🔜#SaintsFC pic.twitter.com/M16zkswrdD
