Bournemouth 'on track' as Southampton stall

Bournemouth’s stadium announcer Mike Botto found some unlikely national attention on social media after Monday’s 3-1 win over Southampton. With the game in stoppage time and the Cherries strolling to victory, Botto’s announcement that the 11.15pm train back to Southampton had been cancelled, had away fans heading for the exit gates (if they weren’t already) and provoked one of the biggest cheers of the night, later circulated on video clips. Martin’s style of play, painstakingly playing the ball out from the back, seemed to play into Bournemouth’s hands as Iraola’s high-energy, high-pressing Cherries conjured a 3-0 lead by half-time.
