It's over! Saints have moved up the table with a big win against Reading! Puncheon with the goal and MOTM honours.
90+3'
Ramirez squeaks between two Reading players but fails to spot the obvious square pass to Puncheon once he enters the box. Nonetheless, Lambert keeps possession.
90+2'
Corner Southampton and Schneiderlin will play it short with Ramirez to grind down the final seconds.
90+1'

Three minutes added on. Three minutes for Southampton to hold on. Three minutes for Reading to snatch a dramatic point.
90'
If the home side cling on here, they will be up to 15th with Sunderland dropping into the relegation zone.

Big chance for Saints! Cork with a good ball into the box for Do Prado, who turns to face goal and should have clinched the three points! Great low block by Federici!
88'
Free-kick from the left this time, but the referee has spotted a bit of leaning as the ball is in the air. Pressure over for the hosts, for now.
87'
Shorey's ball in... is cleared. McAnuff goes up for the loose ball on the bounce and is challenged by Puncheon. For once, the decision goes the Reading man's way.
86'
McCleary is brought down by Schneiderlin and this is a good chance for Reading to try and create a late leveller. Free-kick is on the right wing.
85'
It comes back to Puncheon, who almost doubles up for himself and his team with a decent low drive, just wide of the far post.
84'
Half-cleared as it comes into the box, falls to Ramirez who scuffs his effort at a final ball.
83'
Saints have a decent free-kick here, 30 yards out and everyone but for one player of each side is in the box waiting to receive.
81'
Speaking of top performances, man of the match Puncheon tracks back to dispossess McAnuff, who must be sick of the sight of the goalscorer by now.
80'
Great challenge by Cummings on the overlapping Shaw. Great game from Shaun so far.
79'

Off comes Rodriguez and on in his place is Guly Do Prado.
78'
Looks like Southampton will also make a change, and it will still leave them with one to make.

Reading's final change sees Robson-Kanu replaced by Garath McCleary.
76'
Clyne leaves Shorey in his wake but his floated cross is simple enough for Federici to claim.
