Saints make it doomsday for Mackay

Cardiff City 0 Southampton 3

The likelihood is no considering he is understood to have a meeting planned with billionaire owner Vincent Tan tomorrow morning. Unless Tan had his eyes closed as Cardiff shipped three soft goals against a Saints’ side who might have had half a dozen had they have shown greater desire in the second half, the 41-year-old Scot is likely to disappear the same way as so many others.

Jay Rodriguez, with two far post goals and Ricky Lambert with a precision finish from a Callum Chambers cross, was enough to seal all three points. No excuses from Mackay, who did at least witness his side rally after the interval. Sadly, it was too late by then and the Saints left the Welsh capital with a first win in seven.
