    Shane Long is through on goal but Wayne Hennessey's legs stops the striker's driving effort. A great save.

    Connor Wickham beautifully controls the ball and unleashes a powerful half-volley... it was arrowing into the bottom right corner until Paulo Gazzaniga dived low to his right to divert the effort.

    Yannick Bolasie a constant threat for the hosts. Palace looking the more likely to score, Wilfried Zaha and Yohan Cabaye combining on the right - and the Frenchman produces a cross-shot that poses no danger whatsoever.

    Careful, Paulo Gazzaniga. The wind looks like it's helping a backpass into goal but the goalkeeper remains calm and boots the ball away from danger. Southampton running out of time and ideas.

    We're into the final 10 minutes and Palace fans are in jubilant mood. Southampton have yet to show any real signs that they can come away from this game with a point. 

    One substitution to tell you about: James Ward-Prowse has replaced Oriol Romeu.

    John Hartson
    Former Wales striker on Final Score

    "I have not seen a better save all season than the one from Wayne Hennessey in the first half at Selhurst Park. Just wait until you see it on Match of the Day.

    "And it actually it turned out to be even more important because Crystal Palace went up the other end and scored to take the lead just a few minutes later."

    The noise inside Selhurst Park is increasing... Yannick Bolasie weaves into the box after Southampton concede a cheap throw-in and finds Wilfried Zaha, but the winger gets underneath the ball and shoots high.

    Southampton getting plenty of the ball, but rarely threatening in the final third. Shane Long falls to the turf after a challenge from Damien Delaney... that's a free-kick.., but Wayne Hennessey gathers with ease to snuff out the danger.

    Southampton go forward in search of the equaliser, but Yohan Cabaye cuts off Virgil van Dijk's hopeful crossfield ball. The Saints need to be more accurate in their passing if they are to challenge Palace.

    In the last five minutes the play has mostly been in Palace's half, but Southampton's final ball has been poor. Sadio Mane's cross drifts out of play and another attack comes to a disappointing end.

    Southampton are set for a double substitution as Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic wait patiently near the halfway line for the ball to go out of play. 

    The visitors are attacking, though, and Ryan Bertrand earns his team a corner. 

    On come Pelle and Tadic for Steven Davis and Maya Yoshida.

    Oriol Romeu lets fly from outside the box, but that won't trouble Wayne Hennessey.

  15. Crystal Palace 1-0 Southamptonpublished at 59 min

    When will Southampton introduce Graziano Pelle? Soon perhaps. The Italian international - who has scored only once in his last six games - is sprinting down the touchline, hoping his manager gives him a chance.

    Southampton currently monopolising possession... Virgil van Dijk's eyes widen, he takes aim from 30 yards out and the ball flies into the stands. The Saints need to be more patient if they are to fight their way back into this one.

    Cédric Soares' cross finds Victor Wanyama, but the midfielder's touch is poor, though the ball bobbles towards Shane Long who wildly swings at it when a calmer approach might have tested Wayne Hennessey.

    "Super Alan Pardew," sing the home fans. while Ronald Koeman - whose side are winless in three league matches - looks on from the dugout, tickling his chin as if mulling the options he has at his disposal.

    Fabulous! Yannick Bolasie collects the ball inside his own half and drives forward, evading would-be tacklers as he gallops into the box... the DR Congo international crosses from the right, but there's no-one in home colours able to collect. 

    Bolasie could have released the ball sooner, but it was a brilliant run.
