A late missed penalty from Harry Arter cost Bournemouth victory as they drew 0-0 at Southampton.
Arter struck well over the crossbar when he could have secured all three points.
The draw leaves Bournemouth 11th in the Premier League and level on 34 points with their 10th-placed rivals, who have two games in hand. They are now seven points clear of the bottom three.
Following a week in which Southampton's Dusan Tadic had complained about the frequency with which Claude Puel substitutes him, the midfielder was gifted the game's first chance.
He found himself with time and space to run on the edge of the area in the fourth minute but sent his left-footed shot high and wide.
