Southampton 3-1 Swansea City: Goal-shy visitors brushed aside

Southampton picked up a convincing 3-1 victory over Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Southampton put in a commanding performance to pick up its first Premier League win in three matches, beating Swansea City 3-1.

Swansea came into the fixture at St Mary's Stadium having not scored for three matches in all competitions and fell behind to a Virgil van Dijk header in the first half.

Dusan Tadic made a mockery of Swansea manager Garry Monk's halftime tinkering by doubling the advantage nine minutes into the second period, before Sadio Mane got the third shortly after the hour mark.
