The first period, Ronald Koeman’s side were excellent and they should have come out and built on the lead that Steven Davis and Graziano Pelle gave them.

However, Cherries made a punt of it in the second half and Saints finished with ten men after Victor Wanyama was given a second yellow card. In the end Saints get their victory – they certainly made hard-work it though.
