End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Palace made a wonderful start but it was Saints with the flourish to finish as they bounced back and secured all three points largely thanks to a stellar performance and two goals from the returning Danny Ings.
Not a bad game for a dead rubber!
90+2´
Southampton keeping their intensity in the dying minutes and looking for more goals.
Another yellow! This time for Zaha who goes into the book for a push on Stephens.

90´
Saints have played like a side with no pressure tonight and with Ings back in the side they can hold their heads high and look forward to next season where they will surely do better.
If they can keep Ings fit, and if they can keep him on the south coast. Both big ifs.
88´
Lots of big punts now and looks like neither side really expect to get a goal.
Minamino has done very well tonight in the middle of the Saints midfield.
85´
Palace pushing through Zaha and almost make inroads but Batshuayi is eventually stopped in his tracks.
83´
Walker-Peters tries his best to pick out Martins in the box but Ward makes a great block.
Corner. Of course. This one flies through everyone.
80´
Palace are beaten and Southampton are just coasting now, knocking it around at the back.
10 minutes to go. Little to play for.
78´
Benteke is off for Mateta!
Straight swap up top.

GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 3 PALACE 1 (Ings)
Predator.
Adams puts a ball forward and Ings times his run absolutely perfectly before stabbing past the goalie.
That´s his last act of the half as he is replaced by Obafemi. Classy.

Just over 15 minutes left.
MInamino goes for an early delivery but his cross is a bit too wide to cause Palace trouble.
72´
Batshuayi is on for Ayew who I had completely forgotten was on the pitch,

71´
Eze, Zaha, Benteke, Palace players are lining up in the box to make something happen but Saints keep their shape!
70´
It´s all Palace now...
Eze is starting to have some time on the ball. A few chances left in this one I reckon.
67´
Some minor chaos in the box as Forster saves well with his feet but there´s an offside flag up anyway.
65´
SUB!
Milivojevic is off for Schlupp.

64´
So many corners.
Ward-Prowse has spent so much time by the flags and this time he just plants one into Guaita´s hands.
62´
CLOSE!
Palace are presented with a gift but Christmas isn´t for ages!
Vestergaard gives the ball away at the back and Benteke is in on goal but hits the ball a yard wide. Should. Have. Scored.
58´
It´s end-to-end stuff now as Southampton now win a corner!
This one doesn´t end up in a goal as Stephens is penalised for a push.
57´
This second half is mirroring the first so far as Palace respond to an early goal, and it´s the Eagles on top this time as they hunt for an equaliser.
