Southampton beats already-relegated Fulham 3-1 in EPL

<p>SOUTHAMPTON, England &mdash; Nathan Tella scored his first goal for Southampton in a 3-1 win over already-relegated Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday.</p>
<p>The midfielder came off the bench to net the second while Fulham’s consolation came from 18-year-old Fabio Carvalho scoring his first goal for the London club.</p>
<p>Southampton took the lead in the first half when Che Adams scored from a James Ward-Prowse free kick.</p>
<p>Tella slotted home a second moments after coming onto the field on the hour mark.</p>
<p>Just as Southampton looked to be cruising towards all three points Carvalho pulled one back for Fulham with a well-struck shot off the underside of the bar.</p>
<p>Less than 10 minutes later, however, substitute Theo Walcott restored Saints’ two-goal advantage with a clinical finish.</p>
<p>With Fulham’s fate already sealed for the season, boss Scott Parker decided to give some of the players who had not featured significantly this season a chance, including a maiden senior start for teenager Carvalho.</p>
<p>Southampton moved up to 13th place with two games remaining.</p>
