SAINTS face another of the teams firmly entrenched in the top six this evening in the shape of Swindon Town.
It is yet another stern test for Alan Pardew's side and the current run of fantastic home form.
Apologies for the lack of updates during Saturday's match - this was due to connection problems.
• 87: Simon Ferry sees red after being shown a second yellow of the game.
• 73: Rickie Lambert hits a curling shot from 25 yards that beats the keeper but hits the bar.
• 56: Swindon goal. Charlie Austin rounds Kelvin Davis and turns into the net. Saints 0 Swindon 1.
• 45: Half time. Saints 0 Swindon 0.
• 45: After the keeper pushes out Wayne Thomas’ far post header Morgan Schneiderlin’s follow-up is cleared off the line.
• 24: Lee Barnard turns home after Dean Hammond’s effort from the edge of the area rebounds off the post but he is flagged offside and the goal ruled out.
• 20: A very scrappy start to the match. Rickie Lambert’s early free kick that brushed the roof of the net and Charlie Austin's shot across goal but wide are the only pieces of attacking
quality from either side so far.
• 00: Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
