While the Saints fans celebrate, it is time for me to say goodbye. Goodbye! Thanks for your company and head over here for all the post-match reaction.

All over! St Mary's erupts in ecstasy. Southampton have earned victory in what was a must-win game. They're a point from safety with three games to go.

What a save! Alex McCarthy flings himself to his left to push out Ryan Fraser's fierce shot. That was heading for the top corner.

Five minutes of stoppage time. Saints defending to the max...

Into stoppage time - that's when Bournemouth scored at the end of the first half...

Another half-hearted penalty appeal as Jermain Defoe goes down...

Handball by Saints defender Wes Hoedt in the penalty area? Bournemouth think so. No-one else does though. No chance.

Saints need to see this one out and Mark Hughes reckons James Ward-Prowse can help them do it. He comes on for two-goal hero Dusan Tadic, who gets a standing ovation and a bone-crunching hug from his gaffer.

Dusan Tadic swings in the corner, Simon Francis heads clear...

Shane Long is being a nuisance. The Saints forward nicks the ball off Steve Cook near the halfway line but doesn't have the pace to run clear. However he does enough to win a corner for the home side...

Southampton's performances have been much better under Mark Hughes, and today, Dusan Tadic has scored two wonderful goals, both on the counter attack. If they can just hold on now, they give themselves a real chance of staying up.

I am surprised James Ward-Prowse had not made his way onto the pitch. He likes to recieve the ball, good passer, just to give a bit more control at a time where Bournemouth will through bodies forward.

Superb stuff! Wesley Hoedt times a sliding tackle to perfection to stop Jermain Defoe racing through on goal.

Now it is time for Saints to do some defending. Maya Yoshida produces a wonderful last-ditch tackle to stop Jermain Defoe pulling the trigger.

If Saints throw away this lead now...

The home side waste another chance after Mario Lemina picks the pocket of Simon Francis, before the Cherries skipper recovers to make amends.

Bournemouth make their final change as Dan Gosling - who is less impressed judging by the vitriol he is spitting in someone's direction - is replaced by former Saints player Andrew Surman.

Saints also make a swap as Pierre Emile Hojbjerg trots on for Charlie Austin.

And then Charlie Austin smashes into the side-netting from a tight angle on the right...

The chances are coming thick and fast now...

A lovely clip from Dusan Tadic picks out Ryan Bertrand's burst into the box, the England international killing the ball with a lovely touch but then poking straight at Asmir Begovic.
