After a goalless stalemate in the first leg, Southampton finally broke Albion's resistance when Will Smallbone crashed a venomous strike beyond Alex Palmer at his near post four minutes after the restart.
Adam Armstrong scored a brace to wrap up the win - caressing a clinical finish into the bottom corner, before converting from the spot after Tom Fellows was adjudged to have fouled Ryan Manning.
Cedric Kipre headed in a consolation at the death but Albion skipper was disappointed not to have been able to produce the type of performance he knows his team are capable of.
"It was a tight game. Coming here, we knew that maybe we should've sneaked ahead in the first game," Wallace said.

"They capitalised and it was a good finish.
"Then when we're chasing the game it's a little bit more open.
