| Graziano Pelle celebrates after scoring the second goal of the afternoon |
SOUTHAMPTON leapfrogged Liverpool and moved up to seventh in the Premier League with victory over south coast rivals Bournemouth at St Mary's.
Steven Davis scored his second goal in three games to open the scoring.
The Northern Irishman converted Ryan Bertrand's cross with a neat finish just after the half-hour mark.
Graziano Pelle has been in fine form and doubled the lead just five minutes later, the Italian heading beyond Adam Federici from Dusan Tadic's cross.
The visitors piled on the pressure in the second half but could not make the breakthrough.
That's despite Victor Wanyama being sent off with ten minutes remaining for a second bookable offence.
