U18s Report: Norwich 2-1 Saints

Show/hide article…

Javen Siu scored a stunner before half-time, giving Saints a deserved route back in to the game, but the points were snatched away from grasp by Anthony Spyrou who fired the winner midway through the second period.

The visitors were lively from the off, buoyed by a resounding win over league leaders Chelsea a fortnight ago. Confident in possession, Will Smallbone was dictating play from the middle third, while Harlem Hale and Will Ferry were getting joy in the wide areas.

Goalscorer Siu, operating in a more advanced role, crafted Saints’ first chance of the day, using the greasy surface to fizz a ball in to the path of Michael Obafemi in the eighth minute.

Using a turn of pace to power past his opposing defender, the striker went one on one with Jon McCracken, but saw his low shot cannon off the legs of the resolute Canaries 'keeper.

While Saints were dominating the tally of chances, they were punished from a routine set-play as Louis Lomas was found free in the area. The centre-half powered home his header with accuracy, leaving the visitors trailing.

Smallbone had a chance to restore parity in the 25th minute, guiding a characteristically well struck free-kick goalwards from 20 yards, before Siu drew Saints deservedly level on the half-hour mark.

Found on the edge of the area, the midfielder cleverly manoeuvred a yard of space for the shot, before firing in to the top corner, leaving McCracken stranded. And Obafemi could have edged Saints in front moments later, drilling a low shot millimetres off target, as the ball skewed dangerously off the woodwork.

The home side retook the lead shortly after the break, easing in front from another well worked corner. Wing man Alan Fleming delivered a cross square to Spyrou in the box, who calmly guided the ball home in the 52nd minute.

Some heroics from Alex Cull in the Saints upright kept Norwich at bay late in the second half, as frontman Adam Idah looked set to seal the points. Cull dived acrobatically to his left, palming the shot to safety, before Obafemi had the chance to clinch a point at the death after rounding McCracken, but couldn’t squeeze the ball home.

Southampton vs Burnley LIVE UPDATES: Premier League action as it happens at St Mary’s

Show/hide article…

Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino is targetting three vital points against Sean Dyche’s in-form side.

“This game is really important for us because we need to keep going and get points,” he said.

“We have in the last three games and it’s another opportunity to keep going and convert this performance into points.”

Burnley manager Dyche says his side are developing in thier second consecutive season in the top flight.

"A manager told me, and he probably got it about right, we had changed in a positive way but not stopped doing the good stuff, the nitty gritty, the organisational work - we’d added another level with the ball and trying to affect the game with the ball.

“We’re not saying we’re trying to play like Barcelona or Real. But we’re trying to add to another string to our bow. Can we find different ways of operating to affect the game?”

Southampton v Burnley live stream and confirmed line-ups: 2 Premier League coverage on 4 November 2017

Show/hide article…

CLICK HERE TO STREAM LIVE COMMENTARY OF SOUTHAMPTON V BURNLEY, KICK-OFF 15:00

Southampton will host Burnley at St Mary’s in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, and talkSPORT 2 will be there to be you EXCLUSIVE live coverage and commentary.

After a steady start to the season - sitting tenth in the table after claiming 13 points from their opening ten games - the Saints will be hoping to secure three points ahead of a horrid run of fixtures to close out 2017.

Following Burnley’s visit, Southampton’s remaining ten games of the year include trips away to Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as home games against Arsenal and Everton.

But it won’t be a walk in the park for Mauricio Pellegrino’s men - Burnley have started the season well and sit in seventh place, three points ahead of the Saints, and boast an impressive record away from home.

Sean Dyche’s Clarets travel south looking to claim another scalp on unfamiliar turf, having won at Chelsea and Everton and drawn against Tottenham and Liverpool all away from home this term.

Plus, the Saints have failed to score in nine of their last 16 top-flight games and could struggle to find a way past Dyche’s stubborn Clarets.

Southampton 0-1 Burnley: Sam Vokes ends Saints’ unbeaten run

Show/hide article…

Sam Vokes came off the bench to earn a stubborn Burnley side a third away victory of the campaign against struggling Southampton at St Mary’s.

The Clarets, who were also indebted to goalkeeper Nick Pope’s excellent performance, struck with just eight minutes remaining as Vokes expertly turned home Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s pinpoint cross to send the travelling supporters into raptures behind the goal.

Pope, a former Charlton Athletic youngster, made a string of fine saves, denying Nathan Redmond on three different occasions on a blustery afternoon on the south coast.

Redmond, who was thrust back in from the start by manager Mauricio Pellegrino after missing out against Brighton last week, was the Saints’ most obvious threat during a first half lacking clear-cut opportunities.

The England under-21 international created the first half chance, bursting into Burnley territory before blasting high over the cross bar.

Redmond then turned provider picking out an unmarked Sofiane Boufal at the back post, only for the Morocco international to volley straight at Pope.

More stoic Burnley defending denied Ryan Bertrand with James Tarkowski throwing himself brilliantly in the way of the left-back’s powerful low drive.

The attention soon reverted back to Redmond, whose endeavour was almost rewarded just before the break but Pope was on hand to expertly turn away his goal-bound effort to keep the scores level.

Southampton’s dominance continued early into the second half with Cedric’s right-wing cross met by Gabbiadini, but the Italian failed to trouble the unshakeable Pope.

Bertrand was proving a valuable outlet and the England international linked well with Redmond to force a succession of corners.

But the Saints couldn’t by-pass Pope, who pulled off another terrific one-handed save to keep out Maya Yoshida’s dipping volley from the edge of the box.

Southampton were relentless but equally just as wasteful. Captain Steven Davis volleyed high over the cross bar when well placed as Pellegrino’s side pressed by a decisive breakthrough.

The Argentine head coach threw on Charlie Austin with half an hour to go, withdrawing the ineffective Gabbiadini to the ironic cheers of the home support.

Austin ,who was yet to fully announce himself in a Southampton shirt since his arrival at St. Mary’s in 2016, instantly gave the crowd a much-needed boost winning a meaty 50/50 challenge with Tarkowski.

Inevitably though, the Saints’ wastefulness left them vulnerable to the counter attack with substitute pairing Vokes and Ashley Barnes forcing a shift in momentum.

Sean Dyche’s inspired double change paid dividends with just eight minutes remaining at St. Mary’s with Vokes accurately nodding beyond the clutches of Fraser Forster.

Gudmundsson cut in brilliantly from the right-hand side before delivering the perfect cross for Vokes, who alluded the attentions of Yoshida to guide his header into the back of the net.

Southampton pressed for a late equaliser with the excellent Tarkowski again throwing himself in the way of Austin’s ferocious strike.

A late flurry of crosses with dealt with expertly as Burnley held on to secure a third away victory of the season and condemn Southampton to another frustrating defeat in front of their own supporters.
