    Jonny Howson brings down Sadio Mane, 30 yard from goal.

    That is Mane's final contribution. He is brought off for Juanmi.

    Mane departs without waving to all four stands or excessive applause to the home fans. It didn't look like a final farewell.

    We'll find out on Tuesday.

    Dusan Tadic's second goal came from another impressive Southampton passing move, which included 12 passes and a good save from John Ruddy to initially deny Graziano Pelle.

    Robbie Brady and Cameron Jerome are involved in a passionate long-range discussion about what tactics are required.

    Brady is suggesting that Jerome make a few more runs in pretty stark terms.

    Jay Rodriguez is searching for his first goal in open play since his return from that long injury lay-off. He has spotted that the next fifteen minutes or so are a good hunting ground.

     The Southampton man cuts in off the flank and sends a curling shot just past the apex of post and bar. John Ruddy was just watching on.

    Jay Rodriguez keeps the party jumping as he kills a pass into him with one touch, flicks it up with his second and then pings a shot just wide from a tightening angle with his third.

    He is trying hard to impress.

    Bradley Johnson replaces Graham Dorrans, but Norwich are weeing into the wind now.

    "One Ronald Koeman," chant the Southampton fans.

    Dusan Tadic

    Norwich are disintegrating here and you can almost see some much-needed confidence flooding back into Southampton.

    Sadio Mane dollies up a cross for Graziano Pelle whose sharp downward header is saved by John Ruddy. 

    It's a good stop but the ball only dribbles into the path of Dusan Tadic to tap in from not much more than a yard.

    "Any chance of Norwich getting something out of this game has evaporated, and to be fair it's no more than Southampton deserve."

    Goodbye, good night and good luck.

    That is surely 10-man Norwich sent back up to East Anglia with fat zero.

    Sadio Mane's cross drifts to Dusan Tadic at the back post and he hammers first time into the top corner.

  14. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 62 mins

    Southampton 1-0 Norwich

    This is like Groundhog Day. Graziano Pelle and Sebastien Bassong with a bit of push-me-pull-you in the penalty box as the cross comes in.

    Pelle gets in front of his man, but heads off target and is immediately complaining of a shirt pull.

    We've seen the same about three times already. None on its own warranted a penalty, but maybe he is hoping to build the pressure on Jon Moss.

  15. CLOSE!published at 58 mins

    Southampton 1-0 Norwich

    Whomph! Graziano Pelle steps in and crashes a low shot right off the sweet spot of his instep. Edge of the area, arrowing towards the bottom corner, half of St Mary's think it is in.

    But the ball brushed the wrong side of the sidenetting from a Saints point of view.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 56 mins

    Southampton 1-0 Norwich

    John Ruddy shanks his clearance kick straight to the feet of Sadio Mane who senses blood, swaying outside Sebastien Bassong and pinging a rising shot goalwards. 

    Ruddy is equal to it though, beating the ball away. The Norwich goalkeeper then pulls off a similar stop from Jay Rodriguez.

    All Southampton.

    Cedric Soares bombs on down the right, but his cross is plucked out of the air by John Ruddy. Good claim.

    Cameron Jerome might have left a sneaky one on Maya Yoshida there.

    The Norwich striker lifts a knee into the hip of the Japan international as they go up together for a header.

    That looked painful. Jerome escapes with a ticking off. Yoshida gets away with his pelvis intact.

    Southampton 1-0 Norwich

    Norwich get a rare position to pepper the Southampton penalty box with crosses. Sebastien Bassong has stayed up to add some aerial threat, but Nathan Redmond's cross is a duffer, far too close to Maarten Stekelenburg.
