Southampton have had a late-season slide, losing their last two games to Sunderland and Leicester. They are just a point ahead of eighth-placed Swansea and at real risk of dropping out of Europe. Seventh will do it as long as today's opponents Villa do not win the FA Cup final.

Highlights

90+3'

F-T! Southampton 6-1 Aston Villa. It's all over and history is made with Mane's hat-trick in two minutes and 56 seconds. He takes the match ball away and the home fans show their appreciation.

90+2'

Agbonlahor has another chance as he spins past the falling Yoshida but his low shot across goal is well held by Gazzaniga.

90'

There will be three minutes of added time at the end of the second-half.

88'

Agbonlahor has a chance to pull one back for Villa late on, but his low shot is well blocked by Gazzaniga and Westwood slams the rebound over.

85'

Eljero Elia replaces Pelle, who comes off to a huge cheer.

83'

In among all of the celebrations for the home side, Jack Grealish was replaced by Scott Sinclair for Aston Villa.

81'

GOAL! Southampton 6-1 Aston Villa. (Pelle) Graziano Pelle has the goal he deserves, volleying the ball high into the net from Mane's cross. The Italian was played onside by Ron Vlaar once again and this time the linesman got it right.

79'

Filip Djuricic replaces James Ward-Prowse as Southampton make their second change.

77'

Aston Villa launch another freekick into the Southampton box and Okore looks for a moment like he will get a volley on goal but his effort is blocked away.

75'

Nathaniel Clyne, who could still leave the club over the summer, gets a rare sight on goal but lashes his shot from the edge of the box over.

74'

Yoshida has a great chance to score within moments of coming on, winning the header from the corner, but Shay Given shows excellent reflexes to parry it to safety.

73'

Pelle has an attempt from close range after impressive hold-up play by Wanyama, bit the Italian's shot is blocked by a mass of Aston Villa bodies.

72'

The first-half had all the fun. Hopefully there's still something left in this.

70'

Maya Yoshida replaces Steve Davis as Southampton make their first change.

68'

Wanyama is booked for a slide on Delph just inside the Southampton half. There was very little contact but it was a foul.

66'

Grealish wins another freekick, this time in a central area, which Delph will take.

65'

Aston Villa win a freekick on the left which Grealish sends towards the back post but Gazzaniga punches behind.

63'

The sting has gone out of this game. Aston Villa don't want to be there and Southampton don't need to chase anything.

61'

Pelle shows excellent strength on the right-hand side of the area to hold off a challenge and then spins a cross towards Shane Long at the far post, but Long's strike is again sent wide.

59'

The corner is aimed towards the near post for Long but the striker can't quite steer the ball towards goal.
