Match report
Southampton and Bolton finished level after a goalless draw at St. Mary's Stadium, with neither side able to find a breakthrough across 90 minutes. Both teams had moments, but the final touch never arrived.
The first half stayed scoreless. Southampton lost Cyle Larin to a 41st-minute substitution, then Bolton's Akin Famewo was booked on 44 minutes before both sides changed again at the interval, with Atsuki Ito replaced by Ruben Rodrigues and Tom Fellows giving way to Kuryu Matsuki. It was 0-0 at half-time.
The pattern continued after the restart. Bolton made three changes in the second half, with Xavier Simons and Thierry Gale replaced on 61 minutes, then Sam Dalby going off on 73 minutes before Gaizka Larrazabal was replaced on 87 minutes. Southampton also made three changes in the second half, including a 73rd-minute double switch when Welington and Cameron Bragg went off, and Bragg's replacement Samuel Edozie came on. Cameron Bragg was booked on 59 minutes, while Kuryu Matsuki was cautioned on 85 minutes. Bolton had more shots on target, 3 to 2, but Southampton had 62% of the ball, 609 passes to 366 and 1.91 expected goals to 1.22, with the hosts also edging corners 5-3. Southampton's 10 offsides stood out against Bolton's none.
Southampton had two yellow cards and Bolton four. Akin Famewo was booked on 44 minutes, Lewis Brunt on 76, Thelonius Bair on 83 and Luca Stephenson on 88, while Cameron Bragg was Southampton's second booking after Kuryu Matsuki. There were no red cards.
