Southampton ended a five-game winless run and moved out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Che Adams headed in a cross from Romain Perraud in the ninth minute at Vitality Stadium and the visitors held on to give manager Ralph Hasenhuttl a vital win. Bournemouth lost for the first time under interim manager Gary O’Neil, who had guided the mid-table Cherries on a six-game unbeaten run after replacing Scott Parker. Saints goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu twice denied Philip Billing in the first half — from close range in the 16th minute and a long-range strike at the half-hour mark. Marcos Senesi nearly equalized just after halftime but his header went wide. The victory lifted Hasenhuttl’s team four spots to 14th place and should ease some pressure off the Saints manager.

O’Neil took over after Bournemouth fired Parker following a 9-0 defeat at Liverpool on Aug. 27.

Moore's header in the box comes back to him, but his attempted volley is blocked and Saints come forward on the counter, in no rush to try a risky pass or potentially lose possession!

SAVED!!! Djenepo latches onto a flick from Adams, and bypasses Mepham before shooting, but his left-footed effort is held by Neto!

OFF THE LINE!!! Bazunu spills his catch of Tavernier's corner and Cook directs the loose ball goalwards, but it's volleyed off the line by Salisu!

We're into five minutes of added time, and can Bournemouth use it to find a late equaliser here?

OVER!!! Stanislas finds Tavernier down the right, and he steps beyond Larios before whipping in a cross, which needs to be tipped over by Bazunu for a late Bournemouth corner!
