FT
The full-time whistle goes and Southampton celebrate a win that they just about deserve on the balance of play. Mane's late red card is a setback for the Saints, but three points today sends them above the Potters in the table and keeps their hopes of European qualification alive.

Crouch attempts an overhead kick in the box and Van Dijk collapses to the floor. "I never [...] touched him," protests Crouch. *I've cleaned the language up a bit.
