SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Armando Broja has struck his first English Premier League goal as Southampton picked up an overdue first win of the season by beating Leeds 1-0 at home.

But the Albania striker responded in emphatic fashion, capping a scintillating display by powerfully finishing at the end of a breakaway in the 53rd minute. Victory for Southampton ended a nine-match winless run in the league dating to last season to lift the team a point above its below-par opponent.
