West Ham 0-1 Saints, Premier League 2002/03

This was the second game of what would be a 10 match unbeaten streak for Saints in league and cup from November to early January.

3-2 and 2-0 home wins over Arsenal and Birmingham City respectively came either side of this victory as Gordon Strachan’s side began to show what they could achieve come the end of the campaign.

A tight affair at the Boleyn Ground saw Saints wait until the 90th minute to find the breakthrough as talisman James Beattie found the net.

The talented and workmanlike side that the club had that year would finish eighth in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup final.

Saints team: Niemi, Dodd, Lundekvam, M Svensson, Bridge, Oakley (Ormerod), Fernandes (Williams), Delap, Marsden, Delgado (A Svensson), Beattie
