The Saints enjoyed the better of the first half and took the lead through a well-taken effort by <strong>Dusan Tadic<\/strong> on 18 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>The home side continued to dominate possession and have the better of the attacking play.<\/p>\n<p>However, on the stroke of half-time Everton equalised completely out of the blue.<\/p>\n<p>Everton\u2019s club-record signing <strong>Gylfi Sigurdsson<\/strong> picked up the ball on the edge of the area and hit a sumptuous effort that hit the bar and both posts before crossing the goal line.<\/p>\n<p>The late first-half goal should have energised the visitors. However, the home side came out stronger in the second half and made their dominance count with two goals in 13 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints second goal arrived on 52 minutes. England international left-back <strong>Ryan Bertrand<\/strong> produced a superb cross from the left and striker <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chazaustin10\">Charlie Austin<\/a> bulleted a header home at the near post, leaving Toffees goalkeeper <strong>Jordan Pickford<\/strong> with no chance.<\/p>\n<p>The home side\u2019s dominance continued and six minutes later <strong>Mauricio Pellegrino<\/strong>\u2019s side extended their lead. It was almost a carbon copy of the second goal. Bertrand again found space and crossed for Austin to head home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/david-unsworth-questions-everton-players-desire\/\">Everton caretaker boss David Unsworth<\/a> tried to change things by bringing on young winger <strong>Ademola Lookman<\/strong> for <strong>Kevin Mirallas<\/strong>. However, it had little effect on the Toffees attacking fortunes. The Toffees also saw England centre-back <strong>Michael Keane<\/strong> hobble off with an injury. The Merseysiders day got even worse in the 87<sup>th<\/sup> minute. <strong>James Ward-Prowse<\/strong> found Steven Davis just inside the area and the midfielder poked the ball past the despairing dive of Pickford.<\/p>\n<p>The victory was a big one for the Saints, as it moved Pellegrino\u2019s side up to 10<sup>th<\/sup> place in the league. Scoring four goals in one game was also a major boost, as the home side had previously only scored six Premier League goals at St Marys all season. The south coast side had also failed to score in nine of their previous 12 home games in the top-flight. Boss Pellegrino had come in for criticism from the Saints fans. The win will ease the pressure on the Argentinian boss.<\/p>\n<p>The defeat just adds to Everton\u2019s recent misery. The Toffees had now suffered two defeats in the space of three days, conceding nine goals in the process. Unsworth\u2019s side are now 16<sup>th<\/sup> place in the Premier League table, just two points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>The current situation is a grim one for the Merseysiders. The clubs hierarchy are under pressure to appoint a permanent boss.

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Southampton add to Everton\u2019s woes -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/southampton-add-evertons-woes\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Southampton add to Everton\u2019s woes -","og_description":"On Sunday afternoon, Southampton recorded a 4-1 home win over beleaguered Everton at St Marys in the Premier League.
