Southampton up to seventh as Bournemouth languish

Southampton 2 Bournemouth 0<br>Southampton manager Ronald Koeman hailed his side’s first-half display after the Saints moved up to seventh in the Premier League, having now gone five games unbeaten.

He told Sky Sports 1: “I think the first 45 minutes was the best football we have played so far this season. We had good movement, scored great goals. It was the best the team can play.

“We learnt from the Leicester game where we were 2-0 up but we’re defending better. Opponents will always give a reaction and you have to deal with that.”
