Cyle Larin and Shea Charles got the early goals to put Tonda Eckert's charges 2-0 up inside 15 minutes. Saints did not threaten much after that.

Perhaps that was down to tired legs at the end of an arduous spell of games. If so, many players have the international break to recover.

Here's how we rated every Southampton player's performance against Oxford United...

Daniel Peretz - 6.

Another clean sheet, although he was hardly tested here. Made a routine save in the first half, and was thankful to see Will Lankshear's one-on-one effort fly wide. Cannot give him a higher rating as he was under very little danger all game.

James Bree - 7.

Got up and down the right side without fuss and ensured Saints kept all three points after a fast start. Forced a decent save out of Jamie Cumming with a well-hit free-kick. Nothing gets past this man.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis - 6.

Played a fantastic through ball...
