90+4'
Full-time at Goodison Park. Everton win their third match in a row for the first time this season, and any slim chance Southampton had of finishing in the top four are over. Thanks for joining us today.
90+3'
Great defensive play from Lennon, who tracks back to win the ball off Mane earn a free-kick. He is roundly congratulated by his team-mates and applauded by the fans.
90'
We'll have four added minutes at the end of this match.
89'
Everton are now looking to control the ball, keeping it away from the opposition as the clock ticks.
86'
Baines' set-piece is sent into the penalty area and headed over by Jagielka.
85'
Looking at the stats, you'd think that neither team was interested in searching for a goal, but Lennon attempts to create something with a burst of pace, only to be hauled down 25 yards from goal.
82'
A third and final change for Southampton, and it's an attacking one. Toby Alderweireld off for Filip Djuricic.
78'
The Southampton corner is pulled short to Long, who spins and pulls the ball back across towards the six-yard box. Pelle is there, but can't make proper contact and balloons an effort high and wide.
77'
Baines is furious at the official after a corner kick is awarded following some more terrific work from Tadic.
75'
Ross Barkley has just taken his time to hand his shirt to a small boy in the crowd. A nice touch.
This is not something I'd usually be telling you, but there is absolutely nothing happening on the pitch. 15 long minutes to go.

74'
Tadic gets to the byline with some great skill, working his way past Baines, and crosses for Pelle. The Italian gets his feet mixed up and ends up tamely sidefooting a left-footed effort six yards wide of the goal.
73'
Stupid play from Mane, who simply pushes over Howard as Tadic swings in the corner. Free-kick given.
72'
Besic cheaply gives away the ball as Everton attack. Schneiderlin brings the ball away and, with his side piling forward, wins another Southampton corner.
71'
Naismith instantly involved in the action, going down in the box under pressure from Bertrand, but the referee isn't interested.
70'
Arouna Kone's search for a first Goodison goal goes on as he's replaced by Steven Naismith. Ross Barkley is also replaced, coming off for Muhamed Besic.
69'
Mane exchanges a neat one-two with Long and has a sight at goal from 18 yards. He probably should have a go at goal, but opts to take a touch and runs it out of play.
68'
Everton have really lost their way in the last ten minutes and it comes as no surprise to see Roberto Martinez preparing a double switch.
66'
Southampton starting to turn the screw now, and are enjoying an extended spell of possession. Pelle, Long and Tadic combine on the edge of the box, befoe the latter crosses, only for it to be cleared by Stones.
