Adam Virgo's debut.
After dominating the first half, City fall to two set pieces. 17-year-old Gareth Bale hits a 35-yard curling free-kick and Rasiak scores from the spot after Ward is harshly adjudged to have fouled the Pole. Saints’ boardroom coup has ousted Rupert Lowe. 100th league game at St Mary’s.
