Beattie double seals Saints win in fiery south coast derby

Southampton 2 Portsmouth 0

The Saints and England striker tapped home after 32 minutes and converted an injury-time penalty to clinch victory in the first south-coast derby for almost eight years.

The late spot-kick was awarded by referee Graham Poll when Arjan de Zeeuw clipped Beattie’s heels, an offence which also earned the defender a red card.
