West Bromwich Albion paid the price for defensive lapses as they slipped to a third successive Under-21 Premier League defeat at Southampton.
The Baggies played well at times on a tricky pitch at Eastleigh but the Saints struck a killer blow when Omar Rowe scored the opener seconds before the interval.
The visitors were unable to create any clear-cut chances after the break and Jake Sinclair added a second for the hosts seven minutes from time.
Albion development coach David Oldfield said: "We enjoyed many good passages of play and passed it well on a difficult pitch.
ALBION: Lewis, Hurst, Atkinson, C Jones, Smart, Roofe, O'Neil (c), Allan, Brown (Wedderburn 83), A Nabi, Sawyers. Subs: Palmer (gk), Birch, Francis, S Nabi.
