Southampton push Bournemouth closer to relegation

Ings struck late in the first half at Dean Court before Bournemouth's Sam Surridge saw his dramatic stoppage-time equaliser disallowed for offside.

Che Adams added Southampton's second goal with virtually the last kick to leave Bournemouth with nine defeats and only one win from their last 12 league matches.

Eddie Howe's second-bottom side are three points from safety with just one game left, while their goal difference is four inferior to fourth-bottom Watford.

Bournemouth's five-year stay in the top-flight will be over if Watford take one point from their last two games against Manchester City and Arsenal.

Watford face City on Tuesday before the final day on July 26 when Bournemouth travel to Everton and the Hornets meet Arsenal.

"The key thing is while there's still hope we have to believe, until such time as it is mathematically impossible," Howe said.
