    Five to go. I won't mind if we don't get a goal now. All I'm ever going to remember is Harry Arter's penalty.

    Eddie Howe's reaction was the best. Literally on all fours and banging the turf.

    Simon Rigler: I'm a Cherries fan. Why was Arter taking that? Not a goal scorer. Worst penalty of all time.

    Steve Smith: He takes a sand wedge when all he needed was a putter!!!!

    Right then, conspiracy theory. Saints have rigged the penalty spot to give way if an opponent gets a spot-kick.

    Bournemouth are playing with more desire in the second half. They have sensed that they are on top.

    Southampton are being penned in by Bournemouth. Their defence has got to push up and play the match higher up the field.

    You have to watch Match of the Day tonight, just to see Arter's penalty. They should put this match on first because of it. It's just landed in Portsmouth.

    You will not see a bigger blooper than that.

    It's awful, just awful from Harry Arter. Up, up, and still rising. It could well be the worst penalty you've ever seen. Remember Beckham against Portugal? Like that. Arter had the same slip and turf problems too. A bit of justice for the soft award? Bournemouth have missed their last three penalties.

    Now then! Ryan Bertrand is adjudged to have tugged Ryan Fraser. Huge appeals from Bournemouth, rewarded after a long look by Jon Moss. It's soft. Harry Arter...

    Bournemouth are sensing their chance here.

    They have Southampton rocking. Southampton have to get their composure and shape back.

    Another scramble! Again in the Saints' box, again with Marc Pugh involved. He's crowded out, but Bournemouth have flicked the switch.

    Southampton have got to communicate and get this shape right. 

    Either Davis or Romeu has to decide which of them is going to pick up Wilshere.

    One of them has to do that job.

    How has this stayed out?!?!? It's an incredible scramble in the Southampton box, all started when Adam Smith's daisy-cutter hits the post. Marc Pugh is in for the rebound, Fraser Forster is off his line, the ball is in there somewhere and is eventually blasted over by Dan Gosling.

    Awful news for fantasy football managers. Joshua King off, Jack Wilshere on.

    It was a good run from Long he did everything right. It was a difficult angle. 

    He is unlucky and Boruc has done well by making it difficult.

    Another chance goes begging! This time it's Shane Long, running on to Dusan Tadic's weighted pass. An attempt at a dinked finish, wide of the post. Only three of Saints' 11 efforts on goal have been on target.

    Jay Rodriguez thoroughly hacked off at being subbed. Shirt off, lots of head shaking, some muttering.

    This is more like it! Nathan Redmond stings the hands of Artur Boruc, with James Ward-Prowse shooting wide straight after. This has improved since the pitch invader. That's Ward-Prowse's last action. He and Jay Rodriguez are off, Shane Long and Sofiane Boufal are on.

    That is the best chance of the game.

    Afobe has missed a sitter. When a game is as tight as this you will not get a better chance.
