Adam Lallana came off the bench to fire past the end of Southampton and Preston in the Carling Cup around the fourth place after their 15th successive home win.
Saints manager Nigel Adkins made 10 changes to the part that hit the top Lallana weekend of the season, but kept in reserve. England Under-21 can be found on the net just minutes after the release to hit Preston.
Saints went ahead on 27 minutes as Preston failed to meet a corner from Lee Holmes. The teenager Ben Reeves went back in front of goal, and the Netherlands Centre Jos Hooiveld half, on loan from Celtic, reacted only in the box to put the ball home.
The closest Preston came to find the net in the first half came in stoppage time when a free kick from Steven Smith was overthrown by the goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski St. But they scored a shock leveler six minutes after the break when Bialkowski could only parry a shot from Darel Russell and Adam Barton sandwiched in the rebound.
Adkins Lallana again on 66 minutes and the move paid immediate dividends. With his first touch, Lallana pushed the ball out of Holmes and ran in the region in order to cross the end is at the near post and headed in the winner. "This is a class act and scored a great goal when the game was about regularly," he said. "It was an impact of a very talented player."
Southampton was never tested and Adkins said he was pleased with some of their young players. "It was a good match for our young players. Ben [Reeves], in particular, played very well on debut. I was very pleased with his contribution. He seemed very confident with the ball.
"It 'a major victory. We were able to start 10 different players, and take advantage of the depth of the team. We have a difficult week to come up with Burnley, Cardiff and Watford."
Phil Brown was surprised by the performance of your computer. "I really fooled sometimes the way we played. We have not attacked enough in the truth.
"I thought we defended very well and although he scored two goals, I do not think they have created many more opportunities to clear. Frustrating for me was that he would win the ball and immediately gives back to them. Football is all about application and attitude, and we were just disappointing. "
Brown's attention turned to meet Saturday with Tranmere at Deepdale. He said: "We can not have done what I know we can tonight, but play at the Stade St Mary will be a great experience for young boys, we did not play on a better surface all year ..
"There is no negative response to this defeat me, because we have always known about the game Tranmere is larger, and, finally, evaluate the results of our league."
