  1. Bournemouth fans taunt Saints

    Southampton 0-1 Bournemouth

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at St. Mary's

    Bournemouth fans were in lively mood even before Nathan Ake put them ahead.

    The were getting stuck in to their Southampton counterparts with chants of "there's only one Harry Redknapp".

    Redknapp was the man who did an outstanding job at Bournemouth then managed Saints' arch-rivals Portsmouth before taking over at Southampton, taking them into the Championship, then returning to Fratton Park.

    It's complicated - just safe to say Redknapp's name is guaranteed to irritate Saints fans to put it mildly.

  2. Southampton 0-1 Bournemouth

    Mr Southgate is at St Mary's this evening. Keeping an eye on Callum Wilson?

  3. 'Atrocious marking'

    Southampton 0-1 Bournemouth

    Tony Pulis
    Former Bournemouth manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The marking is atrocious. He's had a free run at it. There was a bit of movement but not a great deal of movement. It's a fantastic ball in the box and a free header.

    GOAL - Southampton 0-1 Bournemouth

    Nathan Ake

    It's that man Nathan Ake.

    The Bournemouth centre-back leaps highest and nods the corner into the bottom of the far corner.

    Keeper Angus Gunn was left stationary.

  5. Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Good defending by Oriol Romeu, who stands his ground and wins a foul of Diego Rico. There's little urgency from Southampton to take it - goalkeeper Angus Gunn eventually jogging over to take responsibility.

  6. Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Tony Pulis
    Former Bournemouth manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Bournemouth have got to settle down. They haven't had a touch of the ball yet.

  7. Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Cedric Soares and Sofiane Boufal link-up on the left before the latter's cross is cut out. Soares stays high and wins the ball back immediately.

    He fires another cross in and this time James Ward-Prowse pokes it wide of the right post. Decent chance!

  8. Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth are in their dark away kit with a pink collar this evening. It's not quite the same as watching them in their usual stripes...

    Harry Wilson picks up the ball in midfield and is looking for Dominic Solanke but pokes it behind him. Out for a throw-in.

    Very sloppy at the moment.

  9. Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Tony Pulis
    Former Bournemouth manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    On the winner of this game going into third place...

    Whichever team it is, it'll be a fantastic start - if one of them wins it.

  10. Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Che Adams chases down Steve Cook and blocks a clearance in the left corner. Bournemouth retain possession though.

    It's a timid start so far.

  11. KICK-OFF

    Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Off we go at St Mary's!

  12. Get Involved - your made up rivalries

    #bbcfootball or text 81111 (UK only)

    Yitbareck Zewde: My made up rivalry is between Man Utd and Sunderland. The way Sunderland supporters celebrated Aguero's last minute goal againt QPR back in 2012 is the reason behind the rivalry. As a Utd fan I am quite happy they are in league one now.

  13. Right, who is going to win?

    Thumbs up for Southampton, thumbs down for Bournemouth.
