The hosts eventually went ahead on 34 minutes when Sheff Utd could not clear Ward-Prowse’s free-kick and Che Adams was at the back post to finish from close range.
Sheff Utd improved at the start of the second half, with John Egan putting a header wide at the near post from John Fleck’s corner.
But Southampton doubled their lead on 62 minutes when Danny Ings found Stuart Armstrong to score with a deflected shot.
Substitute Nathan Redmond’s run and shot sealed victory with seven minutes remaining.
