Southampton beat Besiktas 3-1 in a pre-season friendly courtesy of three late goals.

Southampton have defeated Besiktas 3-1 with three goals in the final 15 minutes handing them a come-from-behind win.

The first real chance of the match fell to Besiktas, with Hugo Almeida heading towards goal from a free kick, but his effort was kept out by Artur Boruc.

Jay Rodriguez almost found his way through after latching onto an Adam Lallana pass, but Pedro Franco came across well to win the ball.

James Ward-Prowse had an effort from a free kick five minutes before the break, but Cenk Gonen was able to push the ball wide for a corner.

In the 62nd minute the Turkish side took the lead as Muhammed Demirci fired the ball past Boruc from 30 yards.

However, the goal spurred Saints on and they were level in the 75th minute when Rickie Lambert finished well from inside the box.

The turnaround was complete three minutes later, Emmanuel Mayuku slamming home a volley, before Lloyd Isgrove added a late third to seal the win.
