00:00On Monday, Matthew Bowne coming in for Steve Wood.
00:03Commentary from Tony Gubber.
00:06Seven games without a win now for Southampton.
00:09Life in the Premier Division increasingly precarious.
00:14This is Magilton.
00:16Long ball, looking for Dowie, who wins the header.
00:18Here's Madison!
00:19Oh, what a waste!
00:22Southampton with the first opening.
00:25Dowie's jump created the chance,
00:27and Madison couldn't deliver.
00:30And Gary Megson's early departure gives Mark Robbins
00:36only his second appearance as a substitute in five months.
00:41Dowie again took it very well on the chest.
00:46Here's Magilton trying to get things going.
00:49That's a good ball inside the full-back.
00:51Here's Allen.
00:52Dowie didn't quite get there.
00:55Another disappointment for Southampton.
00:58Just beyond Dowie,
00:59and they can't convert the chances.
01:04With almost 40 minutes gone in this match,
01:06it's a struggle to remember Norwich
01:08seriously threatening Southampton's goal.
01:11But here's Robbins onto his left foot.
01:13Oh, great goal!
01:15Mark Robbins, 13 minutes after coming on as a substitute,
01:19gets his first goal of what's been a wretched season.
01:24And Norwich lead 1-0.
01:30Dowie wasn't quite sure where it had gone.
01:32This is Madison.
01:32Again, Southampton prepared to pump forward in numbers.
01:39Allen, nice ball inside.
01:40Drilled across the six-yard blocks.
01:42Great save.
01:43Dowie!
01:43Oh, it's off the woodwork!
01:46How did he miss that one?
01:49The save from Gunn initially
01:51was from a header by his own player,
01:55Ullathorn.
01:56And then with the goal at his mercy,
01:59Dowie hit the post.
02:00Nicely laid down by Dowie.
02:14Again, Magilton.
02:16Kenner.
02:18Oh, it's easily delivered to Crook.
02:20And that's a fine-raking ball.
02:22Here's Sutton in on Besant.
02:24Oh, the keeper spread himself wonderfully well.
02:27Sutton must have thought
02:30that was his 27th goal of the season.
02:33But what a great ball by Crook
02:34to set him free.
02:41Well, there's space there for Madison to run into.
02:44Cuts inside the full-back.
02:45Gunn started to come.
02:47On goal!
02:48It came off the feet.
02:50I think it's Ollathorn.
02:54Madison, who'd cut inside the defender,
02:57certainly the shot was going wide
02:59before it took the deflection.
03:08Letizia's ball.
03:10Not quite getting down that left flank.
03:15That's a good ball over the top.
03:16Sutton.
03:18He's a real handful around the penalty area.
03:22Adams.
03:23Goss.
03:25Goss.
03:26Oh, fine goal!
03:29Jeremy Goss.
03:31Restoring Norwich's lead
03:32within three minutes of the restart.
03:36And what a great, inviting cross.
03:39Goss to score his eighth of the season.
03:45Here's Crook.
03:45Looking for a target up front again.
03:49And it's another one of those great, long, raking passes to Robbins.
03:53Sutton!
03:54It's 3-1.
03:58Robbins with the first chance.
04:00Besson couldn't hold it.
04:01And Sutton showing why he's a player
04:05coveted by so many clubs.
04:11It's 27th of the season.
04:13Letizia's little flick on for Maddison.
04:20And Letizia wants it back on his left foot.
04:23Oh, and he's got past Gunn.
04:26A soft goal.
04:27The penalty area was so crowded ahead of Mathieu Letizia.
04:34And he hardly seemed to hit the shot with any venom at all.
04:40Maybe Gunn didn't have a good view of it.
04:42But it's 3-2.
04:49Southampton still believing there's something in this match.
04:52Here's Kenner.
04:53Pursued by Eadie.
04:55And Crook.
04:55Another thorn.
04:56And that's a penalty.
04:58Keith Cooper has pointed at the spot.
05:01And Jeff Kenner's run into the penalty area
05:04always had the defenders committed.
05:08But Norwich protests had been waved away.
05:11And well done, Jeff Kenner.
05:13He carried the ball 30 yards.
05:15And it was a reckless challenge in the end.
05:18Because there was another covering player.
05:20But it's given Southampton a penalty.
05:23Mathieu Letizia has placed the ball on the spot.
05:26And this, to make it level.
05:28It's 3-all.
05:30And he has...
05:33..two goals from Southampton in the space of five minutes.
05:37And it's three apiece.
05:38Letizia with his 19th goal of the season.
05:52And now potentially on a hat-trick.
05:54And that's a free kick.
05:56Chris Sutton fouled.
05:58Just on the edge of the penalty area.
05:59What a crowded penalty area it is.
06:05The kick taken.
06:06Here's Sutton.
06:07Oh, it's an upper post.
06:11Norwich restore the lead again within a minute.
06:17And Sutton gets his second of the match.
06:20And we've now got two players on potential hat-tricks.
06:23What a tussle it was.
06:25And what a good header.
06:31Here's Adams.
06:33What a real turnaround of a game this has been.
06:35Here's Sutton.
06:36Into the penalty area.
06:37Oh, he miscued.
06:39He didn't get any pace on it.
06:41And it wasn't difficult for Besant.
06:44Alan Ball can't disguise his disappointment.
06:47His team have scored three away from home.
06:49And they might get nothing for it.
06:52Here's Alan.
06:54Kenner on the overlap.
06:56What a good deep cross that is.
06:57Letizia.
06:58Southampton have scored again.
07:01It's 4-4.
07:04Matthew Letizia completes a hat-trick in 15 minutes.
07:08And still Southampton won't lie down.
07:13But what good support down this right flank from Jeff Kenner.
07:16And what a terrific deep cross too.
07:23And Letizia now with 20 goals this season.
07:27And that's the 100th that he's scored for Southampton.
07:35Goss.
07:36Well, you begin to wonder who is going to win this match.
07:41Robbins.
07:42Free down the left.
07:43Besson backpedals.
07:44He hit it early.
07:46Maybe Mark Robbins could have gone on another stride.
07:50But maybe, too, he was drifting wide.
07:52The covering player was yards away.
08:03Referee Keith Cooper of Pontypreet has already checked his watch.
08:07We're over the 45 minutes.
08:09Letizia.
08:10That'll be a corner.
08:11And Letizia will take it himself.
08:17And he's just waiting there.
08:19He's waiting for defenders to come up.
08:22Moncow.
08:23Oh, Southampton have scored again.
08:25It's 5-4.
08:26And Ken Moncow, the central defender, up for the corner in stoppage time,
08:34has given Southampton surely an amazing victory.
08:40Letizia waited and waited for him to come up.
08:44And it was a simple downward header.
08:47And there are boos ringing out around Carrow Road.
08:51Norwich beaten here 4-3 by Queen's Park Rangers last month.
08:55And it's only two wins in 16 matches before today,
08:59since Mike Walker's departure.
09:04And Southampton, who've been in the Premier Division of English Football since 1978,
09:11showing a real commitment in their fight to stay up.
09:15That's the final whistle.
09:18One of the most remarkable matches of the season.
09:21Moncow, the hero, with that winning goal in stoppage time.
09:26The first time that Southampton had been ahead in the match.
09:30And no wonder his teammates all want to say thank you.
09:36Laurie McMenemy shakes every Southampton hand.
09:39And they're not relegated yet.
09:41And they're not relegated yet.
