Southampton 2-1 Bournemouth: Dusan Tadic scores twice against South Coast rivals to give Saints vital three points in bid to maintain Premier League status Dusan Tadic opened the scoring for Southampton in the 25th minute at St Mary's on Saturday afternoon However, Bournemouth pegged their South Coast rivals back on stroke of half-time through Joshua King Just nine minutes into the second half, Tadic bagged his second goal to give Saints the lead again Southampton's survival fight has been sparked into life by, well…Sparky. Of course, Dusan Tadic deserves a huge slice of credit, his double in this south-coast derby against Bournemouth providing the Saints' hopes of staving off relegation a colossal boost. But their manager Mark Hughes, too, is justified the acclaim thrown in his direction. Southampton were a sinking ship when he took over in March. After this crucial win against their bitter rivals, hope springs eternal. Stoke's unlikely draw at Liverpool in the early kick-off plunged Southampton even deeper into the relegation mire; Hughes' side dropping down a place to 19th before they'd even kicked a ball. Nevertheless, the Saints knew exactly what was at stake. Victory would provide themselves with a fighting chance of survival; defeat didn't even bare thinking about. Bournemouth, barring a mathematical miracle, went into the clash safe in the knowledge that they'll remain a Premier League outfit next season. Indeed, the visiting supporters made hay of their neighbours' precarious future, incessantly goading all those with Saints connections about the possibility of spending next season in the Championship. In the end, Southampton had the loudest of last laughs.
