Southampton 3-1 Swansea
Southampton's Graziano Pelle should have got on the scoresheet, but scoops over from 10 yards. He looks spent to be fair.

Southampton 3-1 Swansea
Swansea's Andre Ayew, who has been very quiet, leaps up to send a stooping header goalwards - sadly for him Maarten Stekelenburg was fully behind it.

Gylfi Sigurdsson
Iceland international Gylfi Sigurdsson slams his effort past Maarten Stekelenburg. Too little too late surely? Surely?

Southampton 3-0 Swansea
Jose Fonte makes a great block with his foot to deny what looked like a low goalbound shot by Jonjo Shelvey. Southampton have been defensively very good.

Southampton 3-0 Swansea
Lukasz Fabianski comes to Swansea's rescue again. Graziano Pelle's glancing header from a corner is pushed away by the alert keeper.
The away players and fans are no doubt thinking of the coach home.

Southampton 2-0 Swansea
Dusan Tadic almost makes it four for the Saints with a 25-yard free-kick that Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianski does well to cling on to.
I think number four is coming.

Sadio Mane
They think it's all over...
Sadio Mane scores his third goal of the week, following his double against MK Dons in the League Cup, with a well-placed low effort. Graziano Pelle's attempted shot came off the boot of Ashley Williams and fell into the path of the Senegal attacker. Lovely finish.

Former England midfielder on Final ScoreQuote MessageSouthampton have just been the better side. That goal was a bit lucky but Pelle played it in, and Tadic at the by-line saw it deflect over the goalkeeper and it's in the back of the net.

What now Swansea manager Garry Monk? You've already twisted by making a double change.
Just one of those days Swans fans?

Dusan Tadic
Was it Dusan Tadic's goal? Saints manager Ronald Koeman won't care.
Graziano Pelle plays a lovely lofted ball into the left-side of the area for Tadic who runs towards the six-yard area and attempts to pull the ball back for Sadio Mane - instead the ball deflects in off Ki Sung-yueng's leg. Methinks it'll go down as an OG.

Southampton back on the attack. This time James Ward-Prowse's header of an awkward ball floats wide. Harmless.

Jefferson Montero and Eder come on for Bafetimbi Gomis and Jack Cork. Appears to be more of a tactical switch by manager Garry Monk than anything else.
