Hello and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle v Southampton.

Full time! Newcastle are safe! Probably! That's an excellent first-half performance, and a better show of spirit to add a third in the second half. Southampton are probably going to stay up, but their witless defending cost them here, and it may cost them again.

Redmond's long-range strike flicks off Ki and over the bar. The corner from the left is headed out, and there are 90 seconds left.

Southampton are pressing to get one back...

Yoshida has a free header at the near post, and it almost gets in to Dubravka's right, but he gets down quickly to his right to beat away.

There are five minutes of added time indicated.

Southampton have had the guts ripped out of them now, so unless they fluke a second, this is over.

GOAL! Newcastle 3-1 Southampton. Perez scores - A cross from the right from Diame is headed into the air, Ritchie dives towards it, into the path of Perez, who diverts it out of the path of Gunn's dive, and that should win the game for Newcastle.

Dummett heads back a cross from Bertrand as Newcastle seem a bit desperate. It's headed out, again by Dummett. He has been so reliable today.

Just over 10 minutes to go, you'd think.

Newcastle have a free kick, 30 yards out. Rondon and Ritchie stand over it, and Rondon clatters it into Yoshida in the wall.

Hello, Mo Diame.

Hello, Shane Long.

Here are some #stats as Ings sends in a shot from the edge of the box, curling an effort way over.

Ings peels off at the back post, and the moment he slices a poor shot at goal, he's flagged offside.

Newcastle win a throw high up on the right. This could be a chance to keep the ball away from their goal for a while now, and start to relax.

Atsu blocks a clearance and chases it down. It's clearly out, but he whips in a cross before anyone notices. Bertrand clears, it's out to Hayden, and he blasts in a shot that Gunn tracks and beats it away.

Newcastle may have their backs to the wall for the rest of today. They have lost two players, both who were playing well.

Here is his replacement, Fernandez.

Schar is down now, receiving treatment. He seems to have a knee problem.

Redmond collects Ward-Prowse's corner, he plays it back inside for Yoshida, who hooks a left-foot volley well over the bar.
