Tricks coming out from Sadio Mane now, lollipopping over the ball. Aston Villa have not got near him today.

No Pelle, no party. Graziano has had a wonderful game, capped by a superb goal. He comes off to be replaced by Dutchman Eljero Elia, who has five minutes to get on the scoresheet.

Fifth-placed Liverpool will be looking over their shoulder, as Southampton are just two points behind now.

"One of my favourite goals of the season. Sadio Mane plays the best one-two I've seen all season. That's simplistic genius. Beautiful goal and Villa getting absolutely hammered."

Sorry, I said the game was petering out..

Not a bit of it. Beautiful play from Saido Mane, who plays a one-two before whipping the ball into the box and Graziano Pelle volleys in a first-time finish. Lovely stuff. Sumptuous.

Into the last 10 minutes, this game is petering out now. A party atmosphere in the St Mary's stands, with a fancy-dress conga jumping around.

Another change for Aston Villa.

James Ward-Prowse has done excellently today and deserves a pat on the back, as he is replaced by on-loan Filip Djuricic.

This Southampton side really do work very hard, helping out each other. Aston Villa had a glimmer of another goal, but the home side defend in numbers to keep it out.

"Isn't it wonderful to see someone brimming with confidence? Sadio Mane has been full of running all afternoon and he must feel on top of the world after that hat-trick."

Oh Nathaniel! Full-back Clyne blazes into the stand after finding the ball at his feet inside the area. A glorious chance missed by the England man. Will he still be at the club next season?

Nearly a dream substitution from Southampton, as Maya Yoshida's powerful header is saved on the line by Shay Given. Where was the marking?

Southampton full-back Nathaniel Clyne makes a run into the opposing penalty area and forages a chance for Graziano Pelle, and it is blocked for a corner.

"Even now at 5-1 up, Shane Long and Sadio Mane, the left and right sides of Southampton's attack are still tracking back and working hard for their team-mates every time they lose the ball."

Southampton make their first change.

Former Aston Villa man Steven Davis gets a warm round of applause as he comes off to be replaced by Japanese defender Maya Yoshida. A quick reshuffle in the side.

Bit quiet now. Southampton happy with their lead, while Aston Villa attempt to reduce the deficit.

Booking for Southampton's Victor Wanyama, for bringing down Fabian Delph in the middle of the park. His 12th yellow of the season. Puts himself about a bit.

Another substitution for Aston Villa.

Leandro Bacuna comes off and Matthew Lowton comes on. A full-back. Time to change the game, son. Good luck.

A chance for Aston Villa on the left. The free-kick is floated in by Jack Grealish - who has been quiet today - but is punched away by Southampton stopper Paulo Gazzaniga. Impressive keeping.

"Every player that Southampton have lost, they've bought in someone slightly better this season so Ronald Koeman deserves a tremendous amount of credit for what's he's done since taking charge."

It is unsure where defender Toby Alderweireld - on-loan from Atletico Madrid - will be playing next season, but Ronald Koeman will be doing his utmost to keep him at the club next season, a very impressive performer for the Saints.
