Southampton 1-0 Swansea City: Charlie Austin fires Saints to victory

Charlie Austin scored the only goal of the game as Southampton narrowly beat Swansea at St Mary's on Sunday.

The former QPR striker found the net just ten minutes after coming on as a second half substitute to hand Claude Puel his first Premier League win.

Austin, meanwhile, continues his resurgence following his brace against Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
