SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) -A goal from Marcus Tavernier secured Bournemouth a 1-0 win over Southampton and piled more misery on interim boss Ruben Selles, whose side remain rock bottom in the Premier League.
Gary O'Neil's squad leapfrogged West Ham United into 14th place with 36 points from 33 games, seven points clear of the drop zone.
Southampton, who have won just six times this season and played for most of the night like a team destined for relegation, are six points adrift of the safety zone with only five games remaining. Bournemouth had a goal from Matias Vina waved off in the 18th minute for offside. Southampton thought they had levelled in the 90th minute but Che Adams' goal was ruled out for being offside.
