That's another weekend of Premier League action done and dusted. Well, sort of. Of course we have the small matter of Tottenham and Aston Villa tomorrow night - without Tim Sherwood of course. Perhaps he will be following our live text and radio commentary, and make sure you do too! See you tomorrow....

• Southampton are unbeaten in their last six league meetings with Bournemouth (W5 D1).
• The Cherries have failed to score on six of their nine visits to Southampton in the league.
• Southampton are unbeaten at home in league competition against Bournemouth, winning seven and drawing two.

Southampton's opening goalscorer Steven Davis has now netted twice in his last four Premier League appearances - after scoring two in his previous 86 games.

"It has been nice to get on the scoresheet, it was frustrating when I didn't manage to," he tells BBC Sport.

"It was a well worked team goal and so was the second. We were delighted with the first half, frustrated with the second. It's something we are going to have to look at, although we did expect them to produce a reaction and put pressure on us."

Bournemouth captain Simon Francis: "It is another frustrating result for us. We're going behind in games then playing our best stuff afterwards. We're asking ourselves why we can't start games like that. We try to get the ball down and pass the ball, but we didn't do that in the first half."

"I thought the second half was everything we wanted the first to be. We were off the pace first half and Southampton played well. It was a reverse in the second but the only thing missing were goals.

"We wanted a bit more pace after the break. We got our passing rhythm going in the second half. The overall performance and work ethic was very good.

"Technically we showed we can compete. Our passing and movement were to a high level. We need to cut out the mistakes."

Eddie Howe Bournemouth manager

Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk: "We have to learn not to let our second-half performance drop, we did the same against Leicester. In the end we got a 2-0 win and a clean sheet - it was an important win. So it was a good day. we need to look at ourselves, we gave them the opportunity to come back and gave them confidence. We need to do much better and find a solution. With the quality we have we need to keep going."

"The first 45 minutes was the best football so far this season. Good movement and great goals. We learned a bit from the Leicester game at 2-0 to defend better. Always an opponent will give a reaction and you have to deal with that. We lost balls and had no control. We need to do that better.

"In every Premier League game, even at 2-0 up is difficult. You need good defending and more control and to win every battle. Still, I think it was a very good performance.

"We know we can play fantastic football. If we take that and learn from the second half we will finish in a high position.

[On Jose Fonte's injury] "We will have to wait until tomorrow. He had some pain in his hamstring so we didn't want to take the risk."

Ronald Koeman Southampton manager

A tale of two halves is shown by the average positions of all 22 players. The first half shows Southampton's XI were on the front foot, while Bournemouth hardly made it out of their own half.

But the same graphic after 90 minutes shows Southampton were forced back by Bournemouth's increased attacking play after the break.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman is smiling as he faces the cameras in the St Mary's tunnel. But he might not have been if Bournemouth found a breakthrough. The Dutchman reckons his side's first-half performance was the best he had seen this season, but prefers to pin their second-half struggles on Bournemouth's intensity rather than their own deficiencies. Full quotes to come shortly....

Here's the evidence that Bournemouth were 'plucky'/'brave'/'unlucky'. The Cherries hardly had a kick in the first half, but their improved performance after the break helped them to shade possession and territory over the 90 minutes.

Arthur Fane: Good 2nd half from Cherries, but will be patronisingly described as ‘plucky’ I’m sure. Fear from them without a decent striker.

Southampton striker Graziano Pelle on Sky Sports: "We worked hard because Bournemouth were trying to reduce the gap. We need to improve in some parts when we are winning 2-0."

Southampton midfielder Steven Davis on Sky Sports: "We were happy with how we played first half and knew they would come out in the second. There are things we can improve on, particularly in keeping hold of the ball.

"It is nice to get in the right areas and score. It was an important goal at an important time.

"Gradually we are getting better each game. It is important now to put a run together."

That victory means Saints are now unbeaten in five Premier League matches, moving them up to seventh in the table. Bournemouth stay 17th, one point away from danger. Their next match? Third-bottom Newcastle at home. Huge.

All over! Huge relief from Southampton after surviving that second half onslaught. Talk about a game of two halves! Southampton dominant before the break to lead 2-0, Bournemouth showing great spirit and determination in the second half. But they couldn't score and paid the price.

....but Adam Smith cannot keep his header down when he meets Junior Stanislas's deep corner. That should be about that...

Bournemouth are still plugging away, forcing another corner through Josh King....

Four minutes of injury-time. Four minutes for Bournemouth to snatch the unlikeliest of points...

Bournemouth are still knocking on the Southampton door. I'm not sure how they haven't scored. Ah, here's partly the reason why - poor finishing. Junior Stanislas shanks one wide from 15 yards to huge, relieved cheers from the home fans.
