Jordi Gomez is on a season long loan spell from Spanish side Espanyol
A Marek Saganowski double saved 10-man Southampton a point against play-off contenders Swansea City at St Mary's.
Ex-Saints trainee Garry Monk gifted his old team the lead as his poor back-pass was pounced on by Saganowski who scored in his third successive game.
The Swans equalised when Spaniard Jordi Gomez smashed home from 25 yards before Southampton were reduced to ten men after Lee Molyneux was dismissed.
Gorka Pintado's struck the Swans ahead before Saganowski's late leveller.
Southampton manager Paul Wotte said:
"I am pleased we fought our way back into the game against a team like Swansea, who are one of the best in the division at the moment.
"But we want to be about three points at St Mary's.
"We need home wins to get ourselves up the table and at the start of the game I expected us to get the victory but it was not to be.
"Marek Saganowski took his goals very well, the first he perhaps took too much time and I was shouting 'shoot' at him from the touchline but the second he was much quicker and it was a great finish."
Swansea City manager Roberto Martinez said: "The environment was quite difficult and we know we can play a lot better.
"Their two goals were very sloppy on our part but we have taken another two points towards our tally.
"The level of performance was good but not very, very good like we expect.
"But we have to be realistic, at the beginning of the season we would have been delighted to have come to St Mary's and be disappointed with a point - it shows how far we have come."
