Matt Targett cross, Cameron Archer heads wide.

But the ref gives a corner.

If they score from here...

Southampton happy to sit back and let Villa have the ball.

It is a wise choice as Ollie Watkins scuffs wide from the edge of the area and more seconds tick away.

It's going to open up now. 1-0 is always a dangerous score.

Southampton are showing excellent game management here, taking the sting out of the game.

Goalscorer Adam Armstrong gets a generous round of applause as he makes way for Armando Broja with 10 minutes remaining.

He is finally off!

Anwar El Ghazi gets a few jeers as he trots off, with Keinan Davis replacing him.

Another Saints change, Ibrahima Diallo on for Mohamed Elyounoussi.

Having just come on, Cameron Archer wants a penalty after Jan Bednarek breathes on his neck.

The Villa man goes tumbling down to the deck and looks in the direction of the referee.

Embarrassing really.

A change for Villa.

Emiliano Buendia is hooked and on comes Cameron Archer with just under 20 minutes to play.

Matty Cash bumps his nose on Valentino Livramento's head and is a little dazed.

It gives us a chance to admire his thunder thighs. Size of them. Like tree trunks.

Popular in Warsaw they are.

Have to credit Southampton for weather the Villa storm.

Now they can regroup and look for the second to finish the game.

What an incredible stop this is from Emiliano Martinez.

James Ward-Prowse's delivery is on-point as you would expect, Che Adams meets it with a looping header towards the far post and is off celebrating.

But the Villa goalkeeper shows great athleticism is leap high to his right and tip the ball over the bar.

Have some of that.

Adam Armstrong wins a header ahead of Axel Tuanzebe and the on-loan Manchester United defender clotheslines the Saints goalscorer.

A clear yellow.

Villa players are set for the free-kick to come into the box and Leon Bailey smashes it way over the crossbar.

Woeful delivery.

Villa change.

Marvelous Nakamba makes way for Jacob Ramsey.

Matty Cash looking to hit the jackpot again and has a glimmer of hope of getting into the box but is unceremoniously barged over by Oriol Romeu, who gets a booking.

That's great defending from Jan Bedranek.

He positioned his body so that Ollie Watkins was not able to get the ball onto his favoured right peg, showing the Villa striker down the line and he plonks a shot into the side-netting.

Adrenali: And already Villa in no more than 10 minutes could have undone what the Saints did in the entirity of the first half. This is the problem with Southampton as much as it has anything to do with Villa...

It looks like a change of shape for the hosts.

Wanting to stem the tide of Villa attacks, Lyanco has gone into the centre of a Southampton back three.

Oh they are here.

A change for Southampton as Lyanco replaces Stuart Armstrong.

The Scot grimaces as he jogs off. An injury or tactical from Ralph Hasenhuttl?

Southampton haven't come out for the second half.
