Bruno Guimaraes hailed Nick Pope as the world's best goalkeeper after he kept a 10th successive clean sheet.
England goalkeeper Pope continued his remarkable form with two brilliant saves to deny Che Adams before Joelinton struck at St Mary's to give Newcastle the first-leg advantage against Southampton.
Midfielder Guimaraes said: 'One goal is important, we could score more but most important was to be one-goal in front of Southampton. I want to thank Nick Pope I think he's the best goalkeeper in the world.'
