Crystal Palace 1-0 Southampton: Cabaye's Goal Gives Pardew Victory Over Former Team

So it is Crystal Palace, rather than Southampton, who go marching on. Even Southampton's historic hold over their hosts counted for little against Alan Pardew's increasingly buoyant side.

Palace had failed to defeat Southampton in 13 top-flight encounters, suffering straight losses in the last seven, but reputations and traditions matter little to Palace these days.

A first-half goal of sweet simplicity, created and executed by Palace's two stand-out performers, Yannick Bolasie and Yohan Cabaye, was enough to extend the South Londoners' impressive run to just one defeat in their last six outings.

English FA Bans & Fines Jose Mourinho

Following Jose Mourinho's rant after his loss to Southampton, the Portugese coach has been ban and fined by the FA. Knowing Mourinho, one would expect that the outspoken manager will still keep talking and Chelsea fans will be hoping that the ban won't affect the team from winning the next match.

Jose Mourinho has been given a suspended one-match stadium ban and fined £50,000 after he admitted a breach of FA Rules in relation to post-match media comments.

The Chelsea manager was charged for misconduct following the game against Southampton on Saturday 3 October 2015.

Chelsea's Defence Has Lost Quality - Ronald Koeman


Ronald Koeman says Chelsea's defence has lost some of its quality this season and he hopes Southampton can take advantage of that at Stamford Bridge.

The defending Premier League champions have been uncharacteristically shaky at the back this season, with mistakes creeping into their game and affecting their start to the campaign.

After coming from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Newcastle United last weekend, more errors allowed Porto to record a 2-1 win in the Champions League in midweek.

Southampton 3-0 Norwich City: 10-Man Canaries Flops

Dusan Tadic scored twice as Southampton claimed their first Premier League win of the season by beating 10-man Norwich City 3-0 at St Mary's Stadium.

Ronald Koeman had to address more speculation surrounding his players on Sunday, stating Victor Wanyama was not "mentally and physically good enough to play" amid links with a move to Tottenham.

Despite Wanyama's absence, Southampton had little difficulty in seeing off Alex Neil's men, whose task was made more difficult when Steven Whittaker was sent off for a second yellow card after only 31 minutes.

Man United Turn To Sadio Mane After Loosing Pedro To Chelsea

You can almost see the rage start to rise from Old Trafford, so angry are Manchester United fans today!

For so long it looked like Manchester United would sign Barcelona attacker Pedro with chief executive Ed Woodward even making a trip to Spain earlier this week to seal the deal.

But, just as they have done on a number of occasions, Chelsea have snapped up Pedro from underneath Manchester United’s nose.

Southampton 0-3 Everton: Lukaku Hits Double As Saints Crumble

Everton recorded a rare win at Southampton in the Premier League as Romelu Lukaku netted a first-half double.

Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Everton made light of a poor record at Southampton to run out 3-0 winners at St Mary's Stadium.

With just one victory from their previous 14 Premier League visits, history weighed heavily against Everton and goalscoring hero Lukaku endured an inauspicious warm-up when his wayward shot struck a fan, prompting the striker to head into the stands to apologise.

Newcastle 2-2 Southampton: Super Substitute Long Scores Late Header To Earn Point For Saints

Southampton substitute Shane Long headed a late equaliser to earn a 2-2 draw and prevent Steve McClaren from starting his Newcastle United tenure with a Premier League victory on Sunday.

In McClaren's first competitive fixture at the helm, Newcastle came from behind to lead at St James' Park after Graziano Pelle had opened the scoring midway through the first half.

Papiss Cisse's close-range finish ensured the two sides went into the break level, before debutant Georginio Wijnaldum - a close-season arrival from Dutch champions PSV - capped his impressive bow with an equally fine header at the start of the second period.

Southampton Form Doesn't Surprise Me - Dusan Tadic

Southampton's challenge for European honours is not surprising, according to midfielder Dusan Tadic. Dusan Tadic said Southampton's success in the Premier League has not come as a surprise to the south-coast club.

Midfielder Tadic arrived at Southampton in mid-2014, after the club continued its rise through the English football system by finishing eighth in the top flight in 2013-14 with 15 wins.
In 2009-10, the club placed seventh in League One - meaning their achievement last season saw a climb of 43 spots in just four seasons.

Brown Ideye Injured & Subbed In Southampton Clash


Brown Ideye picked up an 87th-minute injury during Saturday’s Premier League match for West Brom against Southampton at the Hawthorns.

The Young Nigerian forward who’s only starting to find his footing in English football, made yet another start for the Baggies as they sealed a 1-0 win on Saturday over fifth-place Southampton; which could have very well have secured top flight football for them next season.

Referee Phil Dowd Abandons West Brom Vs Southampton Match

EPL: WEST BROM vs SOUTHAMPTON PREVIEW

Tony Pulis maintains his in-form West Brom side cannot rest on their laurels going into Saturday's Premier League clash with Southampton at The Hawthorns. West Brom have pulled clear of danger since the Welshman took charge last month, losing just once in six league outings to move up to 14th, while also booking a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

However, with Saturday's opposition riding high and challenging for a top-four berth, Pulis has warned there is no room within his squad for complacency. The former Stoke City boss refused to get carried away in Thursday's pre-match news conference, despite his side's form and the excitement surrounding next week's cup tie against Aston Villa.
