Southampton v Bournemouth – Report and analysis

No luck for J-Rod

Having bagged a brace in the reverse fixture before Christmas, Jay Rodriguez will have been looking forward to Saturday evening’s encounter for some time.

However, there was no repeat at St. Mary’s for the No.9. The former Burnley man, who has struggled desperately to find the form he was in before the first of two long-term injury lay-offs, was often found offside and was unlucky to be denied by his former teammate at the end of the first half.
