WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Southampton have confirmed their Premier League safety thanks to a 3-3 draw against AFC Bournemouth and Cardiff City's late 1-0 loss at Fulham.

Cherries striker Callum Wilson scored twice, including the last goal of the match on 84 minutes, but Saints earned the point they needed to avoid relegation.

Southampton took the lead on 12 minutes when Shane Long converted Nathan Redmond’s cutback.

But AFC Bournemouth turned the match on its head before half-time as Dan Gosling finished a fine counter-attack and Wilson pounced on a loose ball.

James Ward-Prowse levelled the match with a long-range strike on 55 minutes, before Matt Targett headed in Yan Valery's cross for his first goal in the PL and the 1,000th in the competition this season.

But Wilson's second goal earned a draw for the Cherries, who move up to 13th on 42 points.

Southampton remain 16th, with 38 points, but are seven points above the relegation zone with two matches left.
