Cyle Larin scored a goal in each half to help Southampton thrash Millwall 5-1 at St Mary's.

A deflected Mark Sykes strike put the Lions ahead early on before the Canadian headed the equaliser.

Finn Azaz struck to make it 2-1 before half-time and a Leo Scienza penalty, Larin's second, and a Tom Fellows shot wrapped up the win.

Southampton's points total is now positive as they move up to 17th with two points after beginning the campaign on minus four, while the visitors are fifth after a first defeat.

Sykes scored inside 15 minutes to give Millwall the lead, his deflected effort deceiving keeper Daniel Peretz after good work by Josh Coburn in the build-up.

Saints soon kicked into gear and Larin nodded them level 10 minutes later, meeting Ryan Manning's free-kick for his third goal of the season.

Azaz completed the first-half turnaround seven minutes before the break, but it was all about Scienza. The Brazilian's mazy run opened up the opportunity before feeding the midfielder, who applied the finish.

Kyrell Lisbie almost restored parity for Millwall with half-time looming, but struck the post from Tairyk Arconte's cross.

Scienza put the home side 3-1 up from the penalty spot on 55 minutes after Jake Cooper fouled Azaz in the area.

Larin's second just after the hour was a stunning effort, the forward flicking the ball over his head before lashing home brilliantly to put Saints in total control.

A wonderful afternoon for the home side was topped off when Fellows completed the rout four minutes from time with a tame shot which trickled over the line.
