SOUTHAMPTON, England — Nathan Redmond scored twice as Southampton boosted its hopes of avoiding relegation by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 on Saturday in the Premier League. Redmond put Southampton ahead in the second minute and then restored the hosts’ lead in the 30th, just two minutes after Willy Boly had equalized for Wolves. Shane Long added a third for the Saints, which moved eight points clear of 18th-placed Cardiff in the last relegation spot. Wolves, who were coming off a disappointing extra-time loss to Watford in the FA Cup semifinals, replied when Boly met Joao Moutinho’s corner with a thumping header. Hasenhuttl brought on Long for Ings in the second half, and the substitute notched his second goal in as many games by flicking home from Maya Yoshida’s pass.
