Southampton 3-1 Burnley: Austin at the double for Saints
Show/hide article…
Saints climbed into the Premier League’s top eight with a convincing 3-1 home defeat of Burnley at the start of a period that could define their season.
They maintained the fine form they had displayed before the international break by comfortably outplaying their visitors and securing all three points with two goals from Charlie Austin and another from Nathan Redmond.
Sunday’s fixture represented Southampton’s first in a run of seven in 22 days, the next of which is among the biggest in their history in the Europa League at Inter Milan.
Their manager Claude Puel has so far consistently rotated his team, but even with Shane Long, James Ward-Prowse and Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg among the substitutes they retained a strong look.
For Burnley there is little question that Premier League survival is their priority, but if they still felt frustrated at the misfortune of their recent 1-0 defeat by Arsenal, they were perhaps lucky not to concede earlier at St Mary’s.
First their in-form former striker Austin saw his fifth minute header - from Matt Targett’s left-wing cross - well saved when goalkeeper Tom Heaton dived low to tip past the post.
Then in the 31st minute, a long clearance from Southampton’s Fraser Forster sent Dusan Tadic through on goal against Heaton, where a combination of poor finishing and fine goalkeeping again prevented them taking the lead.
Redmond also threatened, and Austin had lacked composure when wasting another fine chance with a poor finish when through on goal, but half-time arrived and the game remained goalless.
While Southampton had lost Matt Targett to injury - he was replaced by the little-known Sam McQueen - the injury to Burnley’s £8million club-record signing Steven Defour felt more significant, and so it proved.
The young Aiden O’Neill came on in his place, and from that point the hosts’ dominance increased.
Tadic’s 52nd-minute corner was headed across goal by Virgil van Dijk, and from there Austin, from his second attempt amid Burnley’s desperate defending, finally stabbed his first into the back of the net from directly in front of goal.
Redmond’s, in the 61st minute, was of a higher quality. In space in the area after another corner, he waited for the ball to arrive at his feet before sending a low, classy finish into the bottom right beyond Heaton’s reach.
Any doubt that remained vanished five minutes later, when Austin calmly finished with a penalty awarded when Johann Berg Gudmundsson brought down McQueen. The goal was his seventh from his past six games.
A consolation arrived for Burnley when they were awarded a penalty in the 72nd minute. Referee Mike Dean felt Tadic had fouled Ben Mee, allowing Sam Vokes to become the first to score against Southampton in 612 minutes.
The reality, however, is it did little to improve their prospects. A third defeat in four leaves them only a point above the bottom three, and facing up to a difficult season.

It could have been more, says Fonte
Show/hide article…
Southampton skipper José Fonte felt the team were fully deserving of their win over Burnley at St Mary’s, which he felt could have been an even greater scoreline.
Saints registered a total of 34 shots in the game to Burnley’s six, and although both sides netted from the penalty spot, Fonte felt the hosts were dominant.
“I’m happy with three points,” he told reporters after the game.
“It maybe should have been more but, at the end of the day, we got the win, we move up the table and we feel good about it, so now we move onto the Inter Milan game.”
Charlie Austin struck twice in the second half to get Saints going, though he was denied from handing Saints a dream start by a fantastic save from Tom Heaton which kept the Clarets in the contest.
“It was a great save from Tom and great credit to him, but still I think we should have taken at least one or two of the one-v-ones that we had,” said Fonte. “Nevertheless we got the job done in the second half and we’re happy with the three points.”
Fonte made his 250th league appearance for Southampton, but praised first half substitute Sam McQueen for his efforts in his first Premier League game as he replaced the injured Matt Targett at left back early on.
He said: “It’s always tough to come on and he hasn’t played many games for the first team, so it’s fantastic for him to come on and do a good job as it’s not easy to do so.”

Southampton 3 Burnley 1: Charlie Austin double puts his former club to the sword
Show/hide article…
Sean Dyche remains adamant that he has no regrets over selling Charlie Austin back in 2013 but, after watching his old striker now score a fourth goal in as many games against his Burnley team, he must at least be wondering if £4 million was sufficient compensation.
An Austin brace here followed two previous goals against Burnley for Queens Park Rangers and provided the foundation for a 3-1 win that pushes Southampton into the top eight of the Premier League.
It also extends Austin’s own run to seven goals in six games, even if Southampton manager Claude Puel then immediately warned his leading scorer that he could be rested on Thursday night from Southampton’s big glamour Europa League fixture at Inter Milan.
“It is important he doesn’t play all the games or, after, it’s an automatic injury,” explained Puel. “Charlie is not an endurance player and it is important to keep him.”

Benali receives standing ovation after completing 1,500-mile journey
Show/hide article…
For the first time in two weeks Francis Benali could relax. Exhausted, he broke into a beaming smile and the emotion took over.
The 47-year-old reached the final torturous leg of his 1,500-mile traverse of the country, visiting all 44 Premier League and Championship grounds in his bid to raise £1million for Cancer Research. A marathon a day, followed by 74 miles on a bike. Imagine.
But he was smiling and giving thumbs up as the chant spread across the ground.
His left hamstring had a grade one tear. His right achilles ruptured along the way. But here he was, strapped up and smiling, back at St Mary’s, the ground where he called time on his 16-year Southampton career. It is overlooked by a tower block where he grew up as a child. Home, back home.
Interviewed by daughter Kenzie at half-time during Southampton’s convincing win against Burnley, Benali was asked how he carried on in the past fortnight.
‘With a lot of love and support and backing. It pushed me to my limit,’ he reflected.
‘I’d probably go so far as to say it was a life changing experience for me. I hope the donations that come in for the charity make it a life-changing experience for people now and in the future that are suffering with cancer,’ he added.
As he graciously received the applause on his lap of honour, he can look back on a remarkable challenge.
He was followed on his traverse across the country by a 12-strong support team including wife Karen, Kenzie, sibling Luke and physiotherapist Kelly Rutledge. Photographer Innes Marlow was among the group.
‘The bloke is indestructible, I don’t know how he’s done it,’ he said.
‘We’ve seen him come in broken every night. He digs deep. His mental strength is incredible. However long or tough a day he’s had with whatever injuries, he picks himself up in the morning.
‘He’s had some lonely times. Some really tough days in the Yorkshire Dales, but he’s left his team broken in his wake. We’ve tried to keep up with him. This is the first time we’ve sat down in 15 days,’ he quipped drily from the press box.
‘Every day he’s climbed a mental mountain. He’s an inspiration. And he’s the nicest bloke, which is rare a combination.’
Along the way, Benali was cheered by the great and the good of the game.
His great friend Matthew Le Tissier joined him for two half-marathons along the way. He tried to keep up with him on a bike but failed.
On the way he got through three pairs of trainers and would step into an ice bath at the end of each day. He looked exhausted, but his mental strength was never in question.
And as he finished his fifteenth marathon in as many days, he was still putting others first.
‘Any donations are greatly received. It’s a wonderful charity. I’m sure everybody in this stadium has been touched by cancer. We have as a family.’
‘I wanted to put my body through the challenge that we have to make a difference to people’s lives in the future.’

Austin: It was a great team display
Show/hide article…
Austin was on target twice to make it seven goals in six games and extend a superb personal run of form that is running concurrently with the teams.
After helping to make it seven unbeaten in all competitions, with his goals coming either side of a Nathan Redmond strike, he was delighted with a solid team display.
Austin said: “It’s a great win and a good team performance. We worked really hard and knew if we didn’t get an early goal it would be a tough afternoon.
“In the first-half I missed a couple of chances but we created a lot but as soon as we got that goal we were comfortable pushing on for the second and third.
“Unfortunately we didn’t get the clean sheet today but it’s a great team result.
He added: “We showed character, we pushed on and in the end it could have been four or five.
“We kept the ball superbly, moved it very well and when the chances came we made sure we put them away.”

Puel praises Austin and Redmond
Show/hide article…
Austin’s brace came either side of Redmond’s low drive past Tom Heaton to extend the unbeaten stretch to seven games.
It was another superb team display, and Puel revealed that Austin shook off illness to be involved against his former employers.
Puel said: “He was a little ill this week and I didn’t know if he could play this afternoon.
“It’s important for the team with the character and a good spirit of course but all the players can make a good game this afternoon around him.
“You saw a very good player and a very good team in the second-half.”
He added: “Nathan also came in with a very good performance, with very good technique. I asked him to shoot a bit more when he gets the chance and he did that!”

Southampton’s Charlie Austin earns praise from Matt Le Tissier and Jamie Redknapp
Show/hide article…
Matt Le Tissier and Jamie Redknapp have praised Southampton’s Charlie Austin after his man of the match performance on Nissan Super Sunday.
The former QPR man continued his fine form this season as the Saints saw off Burnley 3-1 live on Sky Sports with a double from the striker.
He now takes his tally to seven for the season, and former Southampton front man and club legend Le Tissier believes Austin has given the side a much needed lift in attack.
“One of our problems early on in the season is we were creating chances but there was no one there to stick them in the goal,” he said after the game.
"When Charlie came into the side, you could almost see there was a different belief in the team that if a chance falls to him, you’ve got a very good chance of it going in.
"We had a penalty here a few weeks back and he was fighting with Dusan Tadic to get the ball off him to take it because he just wanted it so badly.
As a striker, you want to get on the scoresheet and it’s the easiest chance you’re going to get in a football match. They must have sorted out something in the changing room today because there was no arguing, Charlie was on it and finished it nicely."
Redknapp also believes that Austin has progressed since arriving at St Mary’s in January 2016, and possesses a similar mentality to one of the Premier League’s greatest strikers.
“I’ve watched Charlie since his Burnley days and I watched him very closely at QPR and he has improved immensely as a player since he has come to Southampton,” the Sky Sports pundit added.
"I always thought of Charlie as purely a box player, but what I’m seeing now is a player that’s really willing to work hard for the team, to play in wide areas because in the first half, [Nathan] Redmond played as a central striker and he was playing in the wider areas and it wasn’t happening for him. He works his socks off and he gets his rewards.
"I’m not comparing him to an Alan Shearer because he was one of the best strikers, but Alan had that mentality that if you miss a chance or opportunity, it doesn’t bother him.
"He just thinks ‘right, good, give me another one’ and that’s exactly what Austin’s got and that’s a gift because they don’t care. They get themselves into that six-yard box time and time again.
"There’s talk that if we got striking injuries for the England team, the likes of Troy Deeney or Charlie Austin are the next tier down and I don’t mean that disrespectfully.
“Charlie at the moment has got more to his game. I watch his movement, there’s an improvement, he brings people into play and he scores goals. He’s a much better player than the one I saw at QPR.”
Le Tissier echoed the thoughts of his punditry partner on Nissan Super Sunday, and also praised Austin for his commitment in attack.
“The mental strength to miss a couple of chances and still want to put yourself in that position is something that gets underestimated a little bit because you’ll see some strikers will miss a couple of easy ones and you won’t see them get any more chances because they don’t want to put themselves in that position. Charlie is nothing like that.”
