Southampton piled pressure onto relegation rivals Swansea City with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon in the south coast derby.
Both sides made bright starts to the game, with Bournemouth coming closest to finding an opener during the first exchanges as Southampton defender Jan Bednarek nearly directed a Bournemouth cross into his own net.
That would turn out to be Bournemouth's best chance of the first 30 minutes though, as Nathan Redmond started to get on the ball more, giving Southampton some impetus going forward.
It came as no surprise, therefore, when Redmond was at the heart of Southampton's opener which originated from a Bournemouth corner.
