Armando Broja struck his maiden Premier League goal as Southampton picked up an overdue first win of the season by deservedly beating Leeds 1-0 at St Mary's on Saturday.
Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuettl expressed doubt ahead of kick-off about whether Chelsea loanee Broja was ready to start top-flight games.
But the Slough-born Albania striker responded in emphatic fashion, capping a scintillating display by powerfully finishing a flowing breakaway goal in the 53rd minute.
Victory for Southampton ended a nine-match winless league run dating back to last season to lift them a point above their below-par opponents. Leeds - deprived of influential duo Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha due to injury and international commitments respectively - created little on the south coast and could have few complaints about the result.
