Ten-man Stoke on top as Southampton stumbles
Stoke City maintained its perfect start to the season after holding on for a 2-1 victory over Southampton to go top of the EFL Championship after three matches.
Mark Robins' side made it three wins from three despite playing the final half an hour at St Mary's a player light.
Lewis Baker put the Potters ahead early in the second half, before Divin Mubama was dismissed for a second yellow card offence.
Nevertheless, Sorba Thomas doubled the visitors' lead in the 75th minute, rendering Taylor Harwood-Bellis's later effort a consolation for the hosts, who suffered their first defeat of the season.
