  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    Bournemouth 1-2 Southampton

    Meanwhile, Sofiane Boufal - who has been brilliant IMO - is replaced by Dusan Tadic.

    Saints boss Claude Puel appears to have a stern word with Boufal as he sits down.

    Joshua King makes a brilliant break forward - there are two others in support - but his ball to Ryan Fraser comes off the player's boot. The move ends with King crossing a great ball into the area - for no-one.

  3. GOOD KEEPING!published at 58 mins

    Bournemouth 1-2 Southampton

    Artur Boruc rushes out to the right of his six-yard area to block a Jay Rodriguez effort.

    The ball hits Steve Cook and rolls back towards goal but Nathan Ake is on hand to hoof.

    BtheG: That Southampton second goal is why Jack Wilshere won't be a starter at Arsenal. He should have closed down Davis. 

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 56 mins

    Bournemouth 1-2 Southampton

    Ryan Fraser comes on for Marc Pugh.

    If I remember rightly, Fraser won a penalty and scored a goal in that epic Cherries fightback.

    Bournemouth 1-2 Southampton

    The Saints have got that swagger about them - passing the ball around near the halfway line.

    Can the Cherries produce another fightback like the one we saw when Liverpool were in town?

    Callum Wilson fires a shot over from inside the area from Joshua King's pass.

    They have scored now.

    A beautiful move around the edge of the area as Sofiane Boufal's backheel flick sets sub Steven Davis free.

    The Northern Ireland midfielder bursts into the area and clips a ball into the six-yard area for Jay Rodriguez to convert.

  8. CLOSE!published at 46 mins

    The Saints go close to taking a 2-1 lead seconds after the kick off.

    Nathan Redmond powers into the area and gets a low shot away but Artur Boruc saves low.

    Worrying defending.

  9. KICK-OFFpublished at 14:32 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2016

    Bournemouth 1-1 Southampton

    We are back under way.

    Harrison Reed has been replaced by Steven Davis. Reed was making his first league start after signing a new contract on Thursday.

    The players are back - hopefully some of them had a quick read of the "Defending for Dummies" manual.

    It looks like Steven Davis is coming on for Southampton.

    QPR 0-1 Aston Villa

    Elsewhere, Aston Villa just handed QPR their fifth successive defeat. I do feel for Hoops fans.

    Jonathan Kodjia's 75th minute strike was enough for all three points for Steve Bruce's side who are up to 13th and 31 points.

    Ross Grainger: Wilshere loses possession 10 times in 40 minutes. Carrick doesn't do that in a season. Yet which one gets picked for England?

    Stephen James: Hojberg having a right shocker for the Saints so far! Cue a 30 yard screamer...

    Ikenna Onyia: Former Chelsea fullbacks on fire. Van Aanholt yesterday, Ake and Bertrand today.

    There you go.

    A half that began well then became a little bit scrappy.

    We are approaching the time when the fourth official holds up the board telling us all how much stoppage time there is. One of the great moments of any match.

    That's my way of saying there's not much happening on the pitch.

    Bournemouth 1-1 Southampton

    I think that first 15 minute burst has taken it out of the players.

    Except for perhaps Ryan Bertrand who managed to kick the ball out of the ground before gesturing "new ball".

    The hilarity!

    Thirty-nine touches for Jack Wilshere so far - the most of any player on the pitch.

    Although he's given possession away 10 times.

    Bournemouth 1-1 Southampton

    We've actually not had an effort on goal for a while, but Callum Wilson ends the barren spell with a header straight at Fraser Forster from Marc Pugh's tame cross.

    Wilson is getting into good positions today.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 34 mins

    Bournemouth 1-1 Southampton

    Ref Mark Clattenburg books Sofiane Boufal for a dive on the edge of the Cherries' area.

    It looked a foul.

    But no, the replay shows Jack Wilshere didn't catch him.

    Good eyes Clatts.
