Aaron Ramsdale’s Southampton debut was spoiled after a double from Bryan Mbeumo and a Yoane Wissa goal lifted Brentford to a 3-1 victory. Ivan Toney, whose departure to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli was announced in the early hours of Saturday morning, watched from the stands to see how his former side would get on without him.

Mbeumo issued a promising answer with his second score of the new Premier League campaign just before the break, before netting his third after the restart. Wissa then bundled home to hand the hosts a comfortable lead, with Yukinari Sugawara ending Southampton’s wait for a Premier League goal late on.
