Burnley rediscovered some of their old swagger as they brushed aside West Ham 2-0 to ease their relegation worries.

Chris Wood got his now customary strike against the Hammers before the outstanding 19-year-old Dwight McNeil bagged his first Premier League goal - both inside the opening 35 minutes.

Four days after they were thrashed 5-1 here by Everton, Burnley looked resolute at the back and confident going forward as they secured only their second win since the start of October, offering reminders of why they were playing their way into Europe this time last year.

Relive the action below.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

68 minutes

City's fans are making all the noise now. Their side are content to keep the ball, to tire out their opposition, who are growing increasingly bereft of hope.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

68 minutes

Austin is off, replaced by Shane Long. He's yet to score in the Premier League this season. Now would be a good time to get his first.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

72 minutes

Kompany goes into a challenge about ten minutes too late and picks up a yellow. The game is petering out now, though.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

73 minutes

Bednarek is in the book, too, after pulling back Aguero. And with that, City's top scorer makes way for Gabriel Jesus.

Burnley 2-0 West Ham

75 minutes

Over at Turf Moor, Burnley look more like their old selves. They're on course for a big three points against a lacklustre West Ham side.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

78 minutes

Danilo is next in the book for City. There's been some rash, and quite unnecessary, challenges in the second half.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

80 minutes

Mahrez should make it four having been played in brilliantly by Jesus. McCarthy is in the way again, though, and Southampton keep the deficit at just two goals.

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

81 minutes

Højbjerg, whose equaliser seems an age ago now, fires another shot on goal. There's plenty of power, but it's straight at Ederson.

Callum Rice-Coates30 December 2018 15:56

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

84 minutes

Leroy Sane is on for City, in place of Mahrez.

Callum Rice-Coates30 December 2018 15:58

Southampton 1-3 Manchester City

85 minutes

Højbjerg, for no apparent reason, jumps into a challenge on Fernandinho. Both feet are off the ground and he can't really have any complaints. Southampton down to ten for the remaining few minutes.
