So nearly a winner for Charlie Austin, but his shot from a tight angle flies into the side netting.

Maya Yoshida 's free-kick from 25 yards curves round the wall, but goes agonisingly wide of the post with Swansea keeper Lukasz Fabianski beaten.

Gabbiadini off target

Some nice footwork from Manolo Gabbiadini opens up some space on the edge of the area, but he then drags his shot wide.

Gabbiadini threatens

Dušan Tadić slides a pass into Manolo Gabbiadini, who cuts back onto his left foot but fires wide of the far post, as Saints push on again.

SOUTHAMPTON 0-0 SWANSEA CITY

It's level at the break, despite a positive first half from Mauricio Pellegrino's side.

Yoshida within inches of scoring

A deep ball from Dušan Tadić is nodded back across goal by Jack Stephens. Maya Yoshida acrobatically connects, but the ball goes inches wide.

Yellow Card for Oriol Romeu (Southampton)

Romeu goes into the book after challenging for an aerial ball against Tom Carroll, as referee Mike Jones deemed him to have used too much force.

Tadić shouts for a penalty

Dušan Tadić goes down just inside the area as he and Federico Fernandez both go for the same ball. He wants a penalty for a trip, but referee Mike Jones isn't interested.

Fabianski saves from Ward-Prowse

Saints are piling on the pressure! This time it's James Ward-Prowse with the effort from distance, but Lukasz Fabianski dives to his left to keep out his well-struck shot.

Redmond fires just over

Nathan Redmond sends in a stinging left-footed strike from 25 yards, but it is just over the bar.

Ward-Prowse denied

Saints are looking dangerous again. Nathan Redmond gets to the byline and cuts it back to James Ward-Prowse, but his left-foot shot is tipped over.

Yellow Card for Nathan Redmond (Southampton)

Nathan Redmond is booked for blocking Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianski.

Swansea on the front foot

A good ball from Wayne Rutledge finds Tammy Abraham at the near post, but he heads just wide of the top corner.

Bertrand tries his luck

Ryan Bertrand has been heavily involved in the early stages, and he lines up a shot from 25 yards now, only to send it over.

So close!

Ryan Bertrand gets away down the left and cuts it back perfectly to Dušan Tadić in space at the near post, but he turns the ball agonisingly wide. A positive start!
