90+4'
F-T! Southampton 1-0 Crystal Palace. They may not have played very well but Southampton have their win thanks to Sadio Mane's late goal. He was the best attacking outlet for Southampton throughout the game and was on hand to flick home after Julian Speroni spilled James Ward-Prowse's low shot from just outside the area.

GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Crystal Palace. It didn't seem like it would ever come but Southampton have their goal! Ward-Prowse, on for less that five minutes, turns past Dann and shoots from just outside the area. Speroni pushes the shot straight out in front of him and Mane is there to dink it into the net. Poor goalkeeping.

Tadic loops a cross from the left-hand byline and finds Long but the Irish striker can only hit a looping volley over the bar.
79'
Wanyama tries to do it alone, flicking over two defenders before driving a shot towards the nearpost on his left-foot only for Joel Ward to block it away.
