Southampton hit the front in the Premier League after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle on Friday evening.Ralph Hasenhüttl's side took the lead in the seventh minute through Che Adams.And Stuart Armstrong's brilliant late strike sealed the victory for the home side.The Saints were the better side throughout and thoroughly deserved to take all three points.Despite a dismal 5-2 loss to Tottenham earlier in the season, their win on Friday night took them to the summit of the Premier League.p1emgof6e3k34jsd1ool1ge01q29.jpgThey are top on goal difference from Liverpool, having accumulated 16 points from their opening seven games.And Southampton's Twitter account sent a genius tweet after the team's accomplishment.The US presidential election is currently ongoing, with Donald Trump battling it out with Joe Biden.On Thursday morning, with Biden pulling ahead of him in the race for the White House, Trump dramatically tweeted US officials to 'stop the count'.

And that's a tweet that Southampton mimicked on Friday evening, having reached the summit of the Premier League.

That is gold from the Southampton Twitter admin.

The tweet instantly went viral and has over 48k retweets and 243k 'likes' at the time of writing.

It has nothing on the numbers of Trump's post but it's still impressive nonetheless.

It went down very well with football fans and you can see the best reaction below.

Southampton also changed their Twitter bio to: 'Home of the @premierleague leaders'.

Unfortunately, they are almost certainly not going to be at the top when the weekend comes to a close, but fair play to them for enjoying it while it lasts.

Hasenhuttl praised his team after yesterday's victory.

"It's amazing what my team does in the moment," he told Sky Sports. "Congratulations to everybody around the pitch and the team. Amazing. We could maybe have scored more but the rest was perfect. Everybody was on the highest level. It is a little scary what we are doing at the moment to be honest but not surprising when I see what we are working on.

"We could have closed the game, earlier - that was definitely possible. The way we played through lines was fantastic to watch. We can then make the last pass and final decision even better but this is criticism on a high level. We know it's not so easy to create a lot of chances against these teams.

"We're a strong side and this is not a coincidence as we've developed every part of our game. Our game management has been very brave and I feel it has helped us in some situations where there's no crowd in the stadium so we can develop our game. There's not so much stress now, and we've got used to it. As a result, we've now got a more complete game."
