    Southampton 3-1 Burnley

    A header well won in the air by Jay Rodriguez, who flicks Fraser Forster's kick on to Dusan Tadic.

    The Serbian takes a touch and lets rip with an effort that is high and not so handsome.

    Time ebbing away for Burnley to try to get something from this game.

    Southampton 3-1 Burnley

    Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick - hair combed back like a Year 7 student who has used half a tub of gel - lets the ball run out of play expecting a corner.

    Goal kick says Mr Dean.

    Hendrick cannot believe it.

    Solid at the back.

    Southampton have conceded their first goal in 612 minutes of action - in all competitions.

    Southampton 3-1 Burnley

    Southampton had put the game to bed, but Burnley woke up, so the Saints are looking to put their opponents to sleep for a second time.

    Midfielder Oriol Romeu is intent on getting on the scoresheet today, but his thunderous drive - this time on his left peg - is always rising and Tom Heaton waves it over.

    That's a sympathy penalty - that. 

    That's giving them for the sake of giving them. 

    If it was 0-0, he wouldn't give that. So why would you give it at 3-0?

    Beautiful from Sam Vokes, straight down the middle.

    Looking at the penalty decision on replay, it is soft, I mean really soft.

    Mike Dean has awarded the penalty as Dusan Tadic puts his arm up on Burnley defender Ben Mee in the box.

    Football has officially become a non-contact sport.

    Mike Dean points to the spot and then points at Dusan Tadic.

    It looks like an infringement from the Serbian.

    Charlie Austin in a born goal scorer and a nice lad. He has been through the mill a bit but he is a proper boy isn't he.

    Cool as you like.

    Charlie Austin gets his second of the game from the penalty spot.

    He waits for goalkeeper Tom Heaton to go one way, before caressing the ball the other.

    Pack your bags, this game is over.

    Burnley are all over the place at the back.

    They almost concede a third after giving the ball away in the box, but Steven Davis's goalbound shot is blocked by a stretching Michael Keane.

    That's a great finish. It doesn't look like Nathan Redmond is going to get much purchase on that - he is almost on top of the ball - but he drifts away from the pack, sets himself and it's through the defender's legs. Great finish.

    And there is the second.

    Sean Dyche will not be happy as his Burnley side concede from another corner.

    Southampton midfielder Steven Davis drifts a cross into the box which evades a group of players, eventually falling to Nathan Redmond around 12 yards out.

    The former Norwich man makes no mistake, drilling a clean, low effort into the back of the net.

    Two in eight minutes for the home side.

    Southampton looking to put this game to bed now.

    It is excellent work by Nathan Redmond, who saves the life out of the Burnley defence with his direct running and pace, pushing the ball into the path of Dusan Tadic.

    The Serbian swivels and strikes at goal, which is pushed over by Tom Heaton.

    Corner.
