Southampton failed to score for the fourth successive Premier League game as they held high-flying Bournemouth to a 0-0 draw. Saints played their part in a tight encounter at the Vitality Stadium but struggled to create and have now gone 385 top-flight minutes without finding the net. Bournemouth, who maintained their unbeaten home record with the stalemate, were also guilty of lacking a cutting edge and needed 72 minutes to produce an effort on target. Saints, who last went four Premier League games without a goal in 2004, lost their previous three league fixtures by an aggregate score of 8-0.
