BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 3 SOUTHAMPTON

The visitors have beat their south coast rivals comfortably, thanks to a masterclass from Rodriguez and an all-round impressive team display. Ake got the early opener for The Cherries, but Bertrand's equaliser marked the start of the comeback and two goals from Rodriguez sealed the deal. 

The Saints have asserted their superiority in some style, leaving Howe with a job to do to reactivate his sides run of fine form.
