They've done it! Southampton have hung on and picked up all three points. Dusan Tadic was outstanding scoring two goals but Alex McCarthy was simply inspired between the sticks, what a performance.
90'
AMAZING!
Alex McCarthy produces an outstanding save to push away a deflected effort from Ryan Fraser. How did he save that?!?!
90'
ALL CHERRIES
Southampton are camped in their own half...it's all Bournemouth.
90'
CLOSE!
Alex McCarthy saves with his legs after Jermain Defoe strikes. Southampton fans can't watch!
90'
PENALTY APPEALS!
Jermain Defoe has a soft shout for a penalty, claiming holding in the box, but the ref isn't interested. There will be five added minutes.

Yellow Card
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Southampton)

Yellow Card
James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)

CHERRIES ON TOP
Bournemouth have started the second half much better. Lewis Cook is invited to run forward before Alex McCarthy has to keep out his effort from range.
47'
Yellow Card
Jan Bednarek (Southampton)
47'
YELLOW CARD
Lys Mousset tries to race away, Jan Bednarek pulls him back and it's an easy yellow for the referee to give.
85'
FORMER SAINT STRIKES
Andrew Surman, the former Southampton player, curls one towards goal but it drifts wide.
81'
SAINTS IMPRESSIVE
Southampton couldn't give much more at the moment. Mark Hughes can have no complaints about the effort from his side, Bournemouth can't match it.
77'
WHAT A TACKLE
Jermain Defoe looks to be racing through on goal but Wesley Hoedt saves his side with an amazing sliding challenge. You can't see this finishing 2-1, it's end to end.
75'
CHANCE FOR DEFOE!
Nathan Ake flicks it towards Jermain Defoe who shoots, but Maya Yoshida produces a brilliant block.
72'
Substitution
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (on). Charlie Austin (off). (Southampton)
72'
CHANGES FOR BOTH SIDES
Both sides are tweaking things - Andrew Surman replaces Dan Gosling for Bournemouth and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is on for Charlie Austin for Saints.
8'
NEED TO WIN
It's an edgy start at St Mary's. Southampton need to win this but they haven't gone for broke from the off. Is Mark Hughes looking to win it late? They have gone ahead in games recently and lost late on...maybe the later they strike the better?
71'
ANOTHER CHANCE!
It's all Southampton. Dusan Tadic finds Ryan Bertrand but he fires straight at Asmir Begovic.
68'
WHAT A CHANCE!
Shane Long has a great chance to give Southampton some much needed breathing room but Asmir Begovic saves with his legs. Long had to score there.
64'
Substitution
Jordon Ibe (on). Lys Mousset (off). (Bournemouth)
64'
HERE COME THE CHANGES
Here come the cavalry, Jermain Defoe and Jordon Ibe are on for Callum Wilson and Lys Mousset. Imagine if the former Portsmouth striker is the man to break the hearts of Southampton fans...
61'
SAFE HANDS
Joshua King does well to whip in a cross but Alex McCarthy gathers safely. The Saints keeper has looked very assured today.
59'
Substitution
Shane Long (on). Nathan Redmond (off). (Southampton)
58'
SAINTS CHANGE
Shane Long replaces Nathan Redmond, that seems like an attacking change, especially for a side 2-1 up with a history of throwing away leads...
54'
Goal
Dusan Tadic (Southampton)
54'
GOOOAAALLL!!! SOUTHAMPTON!
Steve Cook fails to clear a long ball forward, Dusan Tadic latches onto it and he puts Saints into the lead again with a sweet toe-poke. 2-1. The survival is back on!
90'
Yellow Card
Cedric (Southampton)
87'
Substitution
James Ward-Prowse (on). Dusan Tadic (off). (Southampton)
87'
WHAT A PERFORMANCE
James Ward-Prowse comes on for Dusan Tadic who has been phenomenal today. He has almost singlehandedly kept Southampton's hopes of survival alive.
72'
Substitution
Andrew Surman (on). Dan Gosling (off). (Bournemouth)
64'
Substitution
Jermain Defoe (on). Callum Wilson (off). (Bournemouth)
43'
GREAT REACTIONS!
Alex McCarthy does brilliantly to keep out Nathan Ake after the Bournemouth defender spun and shot in the box.
39'
PENALTY APPEALS!
Charlie Austin wants a penalty after colliding with Asmir Begovic in the box but the ref isn't interested. That's a 50/50 shout, Saints are not happy.
35'
OUCH
Wesley Hoedt lands awkwardly on his head and needs some treatment. That looked nasty, but hopefully he should be okay.
33'
GREAT SAVE!
Mario Lemina hits an absolute peach of a volley from the edge of the box but Asmir Begovic tips it over the bar.
29'
SMART STOP
Charlie Austin is close to making it 2-0 (which isn't a comfortable score for Southampton by the way) but Asmir Begovic saves at his near post.
25'
Goal
Dusan Tadic. Assist by Mario Lemina (Southampton)
25'
GOOOAAALLL!!! SOUTHAMPTON!
Southampton lead! The Saints break from a Bournemouth corner, Mario Lemina picks out Dusan Tadic and he knocks the ball into the net. How big could that goal be? 1-0.
4'
QUIET START
Both managers have gone for attacking sides but so far it's been pretty quiet.
4'
Yellow Card
Lewis Cook (Bournemouth)
45'
HALF-TIME
That's it for the first half. Southampton will be devastated to be level after being the better side for most of the first half.
45'
GOOOAAALLL!!! BOURNEMOUTH!
It's 1-1! Southampton fail to mark Joshua King at a corner and the ball falls to the striker at the back post who simply cannot miss. Southampton have had chances to extend their lead in the first half and have failed to take them, Mark Hughes will be furious.
45'
Goal
Joshua King. Assist by Simon Francis (Bournemouth)
20'
EVEN GAME
Southampton have had Bournemouth penned in during the last five minutes but now things are much more even. The first goal is starting to feel so important.
17'
MUCH BETTER
Southampton have really picked up the pace now and are on top. This is much better, this is what a side fighting for survival should look like.
14'
GREAT BLOCKS!
It's all hands on deck at the back for the visitors. Steve Cook first blocks an effort from Ryan Bertrand before Simon Francis does the same as Oriol Romeu looks to convert the rebound. Top defending.
11'
HEADED WIDE
Lewis Cook swings in a corner and Joshua King meets it, but from a tight angle he heads wide.
