    FT: Southampton 4-1 Bristol City

    I believe the actual record was from Mitrovic when he scored 43 goals in 2021-22 when Fulham roared to the league title.

    Plumpton, Surrey

    You're absolutely right, Plumpton re: post at 16:39. Cyle Larin is currently on seven for the season so needs just the 37 in Southampton's remaining 39 games to get there. Does not seem beyond the realms of possibility to be honest...

    Cardiff boss Barry-Murphy reflects as Bolton snatch the points late on against Cardiff

    Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy said defeat to Bolton is "very hard" on the players and fans.

    "To be perfectly honest we'd have been disappointed to be talking about a draw, so to be talking after a defeat is very hard on the players and our supporters," he told BBC Wales.

    "I felt in the first half we looked dangerous without being at our best, I asked for a lot in the second half and they put that into practice. We created enough chances to win many games but today we didn't take them.

    "If we'd have drawn 0-0 we'd have been disappointed so to lose it is even more so."

    Bolton head coach Steven Schumacher said his players "showed a different side" of themselves to beat Cardiff.

    "It's a funny old game, football is mad! Over the last five games we've had to work incredibly hard, we played better in the previous four than we did today and got nothing for our efforts," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

    "We had to show a different side of us today which is really pleasing because it was difficult against a tough opponent who are hard to play against when you're tired.

    "In this division you need goalkeepers that win you points, and today he [Gavin Bazunu] has done that. Cardiff created the clearer opportunities so you need your goalkeeper to make those saves for you and today he was outstanding."

    Not too concerned at this stage of the season. It's great to see that City can come here and create chances but they need to convert them with Southampton scoring four.

    As Southampton scored their third and fourth City made changes and tried to get an equaliser but maybe comitted too many players forward.

    Lorent Tolaj did get the equaliser but today Southampton had a bit too much.

    Norwich holding our own against one of the best in the Championship. I’ll take a loss with three goals scored! Just need to stop the goals going in!

    Fair play to Jon, that is a very relaxed way to take losing in time added on!

    West Ham United remain top after their win last night but Swansea move level on points by beating troubled Burnley along with West Brom who drew with QPR at lunchtime.

    Middlesbrough left it late to beat Norwich and look at Southampton where Cyle Larin scored two more goals as they made it four successive home wins by seeing-off Bristol City.

    These are grim times in Lancashire for Burnley and Preston.

    We scored some very good goals, we did against Swansea on Tuesday. Very impressed.

    Finn Azaz had a good day and Scienza shows how important he is.

    James Ward-Prowse is turning out to be one bargain in midfield who was probably annoyed he didn't score, but Larin was absolutely fantastic.

    Adam Idah scores for Swansea against BurnleyImage source, Huw Evans Picture Agency

    Swansea paid around £6m for Adam Idah last season and he's certainly found his scoring boots this season.

    He scored his third goal of the season and worked tirelessly off the ball, and when he ran out of steam Vitor Matos had the luxury of replacing him with Zan Vipotnik - last season's top scorer in the Championship - who scored Swansea's third.

    Throw in Ross Stewart's name as well and the Swans have three top class strikers on their books - with Stewart set to be fit again after the international break.

    You would expect Swansea to score enough goals this season to challenge for a play-off spot. But considering they play with only one up front - can Vitor Matos keep everyone happy?

    Big trouble.

    I said before the Wrexham game if they lost both could they make a decision. I'd go one more game, if we can't win against Derby then I'd look at what managers are out there.

    It's just a mess. We look like we've cobbled a team on the cheap - players who look like they don't want to play for Burnley. The turnover for players has been ridiculous.

    I feel sorry for the manager, but is he helping himself by playing players out of position? No.

    Both sides showed their quality and their frailty in a brilliant game of football.

    It is a horror show at the back for the Clarets.

    Largie Ramazani's goal gave them hope but Vipotnik made sure the points were Swansea's who are at the top end of the Championship. Burnley are bottom.

    It's been an absolute mess.

    Watford 1-2 Stoke

    Well, even though the ending was a little more tense than expected, Stoke held on, and truthfully they deserved it far more than Watford.

    When Jack McGlynn curled home to open the scoring for the visitors at the end of the first half, Mark Robins would have calmed down a little. His side should have been miles ahead and they had failed to beat Federico Ravaglia.

    Come the second half and the match seemed all but wrapped up after good combination play saw Lamine Cisse tee-up Eric Bocat to half-volley past Ravaglia, doubling the lead.

    But then Watford got one back through Amin Nabizada in the first of SIX minutes of injury time. The Hornets pushed, and pushed, but their sting was blunted by the full time whistle.

    Watford grieved.

    Stoke relieved.

    Four straight wins and 15 goals scored at home for Southampton.

    Cyle Larin's brace and one each for Kuryu Matsuki and the impressive Finn Azaz, who also had two assists mean the Saints go marching on.

    Lorent Tolaj gave City hope when the score was 2-0 but they will rue a host of missed chances in the opening 15 minutes.

    Middlesbrough 4-3 Norwich

    An old-fashioned ding-dong.

    Mo Toure put Norwich in front inside one minute but the hosts roared back to lead after seven minutes thanks to goals from Seb Berhalter and Amario Cozier-Duberry.

    Berhalter got his second before the break and it stayed that one until the 70th minute when Jovon Makama got one back for the Canaries.

    Jacob Wright then levelled it up five minutes later and the away side looked the more likely to get a late winner until Ashley Phillips was in the right place to poke in from close range and give Boro the points.

    Breathless stuff.
