Southampton progress to the next round of the League Cup with a 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday today.

Southampton have inflicted a fifth straight defeat on Sheffield Wednesday, beating them 2-0 in their League Cup match this evening.

The hosts almost took the lead after 15 minutes when Jay Rodriguez found himself one on one with Stephen Bywater, but the Wednesday keeper saved well.

Michail Antonio came close to breaking the deadlock for Wednesday when he beat Paulo Gazzaniga to the ball, but he could only chip it over.

Guly Do Prado was then denied by Bywater before Ramirez found the opener by turning his man and smashing in his first competitive goal for the Saints.

Do Prado hit the post for Southampton as they looked to find a bit of breathing space, but Wednesday were not about to give up, and were only denied an equaliser by a fine Gazzaniga save.

The Premier League side were given a two-goal cushion with just over ten minutes left when referee Mark Halsey pointed to the spot following Joe Mattock's tackle on Steve de Ridder. Rodriguez stepped up and made no mistake despite Bywater getting a hand to it.

Southampton safely saw the match out to book themselves a spot in the League Cup fourth round.
