GOAL! Middlesborough 0 Southampton 1 - Jay Rodriguez
A goal! This game needed that! Shane Long chases down a ball down the right and cuts it back for Rodriguez who side foots it into the net to give Saints the lead.
GOAL! Sunderland 0 Swansea 2 - Kyle Naughton
Well that's a cracking goal! Sunderland sinking without trace as Naughton drives a stunner into the top corner of the net.
HALF-TIME
Bournemouth 1 Burnley 0
Middlesborough 0 Southampton 1
Sunderland 0 Swansea 2
GOAL! Middlesborough 0 Southampton 2 - Nathan Redmond
More misery for Middlesborough. Substitute Redmond has too much space and cuts inside onto his right foot before curling into the top corner.
