Now that Southampton picked up their first win under new manager Claude Puel, his first Premier League victory may be in the offering as the Saints host Swansea City on Sunday at St. Marys.The Frenchman has seen his side struggle to find their footing early, recording draws at home versus Sunderland and Watford while losing at perennial powers Manchester United and Arsenal. Southampton (0-2-2), though, finally righted themselves in their Europa League group opener by brushing aside Sparta Prague 3-0 at home Thursday.Charlie Austin converted from the spot five minutes into the game and completed a brace just inside the half-hour. Jay Rodriguez fattened the score line in second-half stoppage time as the Saints matched their goal output from the first four league matches.We knew we didnt have the strongest of starts to the season, but look, we knew we needed to get a win and it didnt matter how it came, Austin told Southamptons official YouTube channel. Our team performance was second to none out there. We felt if we kept playing the results would come and it did.Puel was quite pleased with the effort considering he made seven changes to the lineup that dropped a 2-1 verdict to Arsenal last weekend.Its important to give chances to all the players, he said. We have young, international players and it is interesting to see them in these conditions and they produced a very good game, and this shows we can travel for the future.But, for now, it is important to stay concentrated on the next game against Swansea, which will be very difficult, because the players must play another game just two days off following this game.Its uncertain if midfielder Sofiane Boufal will make his Southampton debut. The pacy 22-year-old had 12 goals for Lille last season and signed prior to the deadline in a club-record ￡21 million transfer.Swansea City (1-1-2) head to the South Coast trying to build off last weekends 2-2 draw against Chelsea in which they settled for a point after conceding a goal on an overhead kick by Diego Costa nine minutes from time. Gylfi Sigurdsson and Leroy Fer scored three minutes apart earlier in the second half to give the Swans the lead after Costa staked Chelsea to a lead on 18 minutes.Manager Francesco Guidolin astutely switched formations from a 3-5-2 to a 4-3-3 during the first half as Chelsea were dominating the run of play after taking the lead. The Italian gaffer has yet to decide what system he will use against Southampton, who are doing well to maintain possession using Puels diamond in the midfield approach.For me it is about working in a different way and shape, Guidolin explained at his Thursday news conference. In my opinion we have the right characteristics to play different ways. A lot of managers have made a change before halftime. Its not a good moment, and it wasnt an easy decision for me.What is important is mentality, not the players position. We could play with the same formation (on Sunday).With winger Nathan Dyer expected to miss at least two months due to an ankle injury, Guidolin is hoping record signing Barja Boston (￡15.5 million) will be available in some capacity Sunday. The former Atletico Madrid man is trying to overcome a thigh injury, and Guidolin is hesitant to throw him directly into the fire if hes not 100 percent healthy.I want to see him train with intensity and confidence, he said of the 24-year-old Baston, who scored 42 goals over the last two seasons for Zaragoza and Eibar in Spain. He is a good player but it is important in this period not to rush him if hes not ready.Guidolin also is unconcerned about Fernando Llorentes slow start, noting the strikers goals will come when we improve our way of playing. He added that if we play better with more opportunities to score, then Fernando or other players will score.Southampton did the double over Swansea last season and ran out comfortable 3-1 winners in the corresponding fixture. The Swans have just one win and three goals in eight top-flight matches (1-5-2) against the Saints since their promotion to the Premier League for the 2012-13 season. Mike Gartner Jersey .

Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. The Hurricanes big men came to the rescue in a 37-27 win over the Blues in Wellington which keeps them in the hunt for Super Rugbys top qualifying spot.All four of the home sides tries went to tight forwards, including a second-half double to lock Vaea Fifita as they ended any realistic play-offs hopes the Blues may have harboured.Leading by 10 points early in the second half, the Blues fell away to suffer their sixth loss of the season, leaving them needing a miracle over the last two rounds to snaffle a play-off wildcard.The Hurricanes are almost guaranteed of play-off rugby after notching a ninth win but they will have top spot on their mind.They are two points behind the competition-leading Chiefs and one shy of the second-placed Crusaders.Last years top qualifiers emerged victorious in a game brimming with clean line breaks, with disgruntled coach Chris Boyd comparing it to a game of touch rugby at halftime as they trailed 24-17.They were more controlled in the second spell and, with five-eighth Beauden Barrett slotting seven-from-seven shots in a 17-point haul, they held on for a fourth successive defeat of their northern rivalls.ddddddddddddThe win may have come at a heavy cost, with one-Test Hurricanes prop Jeff Toomaga-Allen forced off early with a suspected broken forearm, which would end his season.After an early exchange of penalties, the game exploded to life with five tries in the space of 13 minutes.They came in alternate order, with Blues loose forwards Jerome Kaino (two) and Kara Pryor crossing, along with Hurricanes front-rowers Reggie Goodes and Dane Coles.The game settled into a scoreless 20 minutes, broken by a penalty to inside centre Piers Francis to put the Blues 27-17 ahead before Barrett slotted successive three-pointers.Fifita powered onto a delicate short pass from halfback TJ Perenara to bag his maiden Super Rugby try and put the Hurricanes ahead for the first time.The athletic lock doubled that tally near the end as his team took advantage of a fading Blues defensive line.It was possibly the last home game of the year for the Hurricanes, who complete the regular season away to the Waratahs and Crusaders.
