 | Charley Austin finished the week with a new goal but Southampton did not turn Bournemouth4-12-2017 |
Bournemouth and Southampton failed to defeat the South Beach derby, ending a 1:1 clash with Vitality Stadium. Ryan Frazier (43 `) gave the hosts an advance before the break, but in the second part the `saints` played harder and straightened through Charley Austin (61 `) who scored his third goal in the last eight days. Eddie Haw had made five changes in his lineup. Adam Smith, Lewis Cook, Ryan Fraser, Junior Stanislas and Jermaine Defoe started out for the `cherries. `Jeremy Drinks, Stephen Davis, James Ward-Praus, Sophie Buffal, and Charlie Austin were the `saints. `
In the 12th minute, Van Dyke`s head shot a dangerous distance to the far beam. Shortly thereafter, Tadic shot his head incorrectly. The hosts responded, and in the 20th minute Fraser Forster had to intervene decisively to keep the Southampton door dry. First he rescued Kuwek`s kick, after which the ball ricocheted and headed for the corner. But Forster was in place. Shortly thereafter, the `saints` guard refused Nathan Ake with good interference. Begovic also showed the qualities and saved a strong strike with Austin`s head.
In the 30th minute, the hosts could get a penalty after Buffalo jumped and Smith seemed to stumble, but John Moss decided to show a yellow card to the Bournemouth player, considering his fall as a simulation.
In the 42nd minute Bournemouth led. King pressed and took Hout off the border of the penalty box, then found Sirman, who immediately proceeded to Ryan Fraser. The latter shoots along Forster - 1:0. At the very beginning of the second part Begovic saved a dangerous blow to Buffalo from a small angle. Foster also knocked Stanislas out of the border of the penalty area. In the 61st minute, Rumeau took off from Kook and then found Redmond on the right flank. The winger centered sharply on the ground in the penalty area, where Charlie Austen knocked on the move - 1:1.
By the end both teams had a chance to win, but that did not happen. Forster saved King`s shot, and Redmond and Austin shot out of the target. Southampton ranks 11th with 17 points, while Bournemouth has two less points, giving the `cherry` 14th position.
