End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FT: 0-4. Sunderland are brought crashing down to earth by Southampton, who were by far the better team after the first ten minutes and look to have a new star in Gabbiadini. As for Sunderland, relegation surely beckons.
90+4'
Januzaj's free-kick ends up in the net but only after hitting Khazri on the hand, who is booked as a result.
90+2'
GOAL! 4-0. Oh dear. There's no pressure on Long as he exchanges a one-two with Ward-Prowse before side-footing into the bottom corner. Too easy.
