Southampton vs Newcastle United
A corner is given despite Dubravka's protests, but Elyounoussi's header falls into the goalkeeper's hands.
Southampton vs Newcastle United
Big chance! Broja is denied again by Dubravka but really should score. Shelvey's loose touch in midfield allows Adams to break and he waits before picking out Broja, who blasts over. Dubravka claims he does not touch the ball. It is a poor finish either way.
Southampton vs Newcastle United
Now Forster has to be sharp off his line to beat Wood to a bouncing ball. Until the past couple of minutes, neither side's forwards have seen a great deal of the ball.

Romeu's next touch is rather less impressive. Southampton's corner drops to the midfielder, who blazes over.
