Southampton-The Return Of The Saints

Southampton Unlucky Not To Get Result

Southampton were not able to defeat Swansea at St Mary's in the F.A Cup replay after the scores finished 2-1 to the Swans. Danny Graham got Swansea's first with a header and then doubled his and Swansea's tally from the penalty spot after Dan Harding fouled the striker. Craig Dawson gave Southampton a lifeline with a header after an Adam Lallana corner but it wasn't enough to beat the Welsh side as they face West Ham in the next round of the F.A Cup.

Southampton Narrowly Beat Blues

Southampton edged closer to the the Championship title with a win at home to Birmingham. In all honesty, it was a fairly dull game with just the one goal which was scored by Jordan Rhodes who slid in after Lilian Bochet's header down. You can see his goal here:Enter text for the link here...

Saints Can't Beat Bottom Doncaster

Southampton had to come from behind to draw against Doncaster. Rovers went 1-0 up through Brian Stock after Doncaster had a goal disallowed for offside.

Doncaster Rovers are still bottom of the league.

Congratulations on the promotion mate. The next step now is to keep Southampton in the Premiership.

Good luck...

Reading Promoted Despite Loss

Reading have now joined Southampton in the Premier League next season despite losing to the league leaders 1-0 at St Mary's Stadium. Southampton were the favourites going in to the match and showed why when Iago Falque scored the opener and what proved to be the only goal in a somewhat disappointing match, given all the hype leading up to it.
