BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) ― Peter Odemwingie scored twice to give West Bromwich Albion a 2-0 win over last-place Southampton in the Premier League on Monday night, lifting his team into fifth place and increasing pressure on Saints manager Nigel Adkins.

Southampton has lost five straight road games and allowed 28 goals in 10 league matches.

Odemwingie scored in the 36th minute with a left-footed shot that took a deflection off Maya Yoshida and past goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, then headed in Shane Long’s long cross in the 60th.

After Betis went back ahead, Ruben Castro gave the visitors a 3-1 lead in the 76th.
