Southampton 3-0 Yeovil

Southampton continued their promotion push with a win against Yeovil.

The home side dominated throughout and took the lead when Lee Barnard reacted quickest to Danny Butterfield's free-kick and fired in from six yards.

Yeovil were restricted to long-range efforts on goal, and Barnard got his second when he tapped in following Adam Lallana's jinking run.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sealed the win with a long-range effort, which took a deflection before finding the net.

Southampton manager Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Solent:
"Lee Barnard is finding his form - he could have had a hat-trick, I thought he was outstanding.

"We've got a great team spirit, the players work very hard and they all understand it's not about 11 players.

"As far as I'm concerned I just look at us. Our destiny is in our own hands if we win games of football. Simple as."

Yeovil Town boss Terry Skiverton told BBC Somerset:
"For me in the second half the game had gone by 60 minutes and now we put this game to bed and Saturday (against Walsall) becomes a must-win game for us.

"I think you'd be stupid if you thought we were going to pull away from anyone (in the drop zone) and if we were it was going to be a little bit of luck and some magnificent performances.

"Teams that are in and around us are going to have to come here and I only hope Southampton are as clinical as they were tonight."
