Southampton secured their Premier League survival despite being held to a thrilling 3-3 draw by south-coast rivals Bournemouth
Shane Long scored the opener in the 12th minute at St Mary's, only for Dan Gosling to level after a swift counter and Callum Wilson to put Bournemouth ahead in the 32nd minute
Southampton turned the game around after half-time as James Ward-Prowse made it 2-2 with a low shot from outside the box and substitute Matt Targett headed in his first goal for the club in the 67th minute
Wilson snatched a point for Bournemouth with a late equaliser, but the point is enough for Southampton to guarantee they stay in the league 
Southampton players and staff waited on the pitch after the full-time whistle for confirmation of Cardiff's defeat before celebrating their survival by dancing around the centre-circle
Southampton, who were 18th in the Premier League when head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl was appointed in December, made a flying start and went close through Nathan Redmond, who saw a shot blocked and then an effort saved, and Jan Bednarek, who had a shot blocked on the line
Saints' pressure paid off in the 12th minute when Redmond squared for Long to finish from around the penalty spot
But Bournemouth levelled completely against the run of play as they scored from a clinical counter-attack that saw Josh King sweep forward and then pass to Wilson, who teed up Gosling to finish from inside the box
Long spurned a glorious chance to restore Saints' lead when he saw a shot saved and then, with goalkeeper Artur Boruc on the floor, hit the post with the follow-up effort from eight yards out
However, a tactical change from Eddie Howe, who brought on Ryan Fraser for Chris Mepham and switched to a back four, changed the momentum and Wilson made it 2-1 when he scored in the 32nd minute after Angus Gunn could only palm out a shot from David Brooks
Bournemouth controlled the rest of the half, but the game turned again after the break and Ward-Prowse levelled with a low shot from outside the box
Targett headed in at the back post from Yan Valery's cross in the 67th minute to put Saints ahead, but Bournemouth, who had hardly threatened in the second half, levelled with four minutes remaining with Fraser crossed for Wilson to bundle in from close range
The visitors should have snatched victory in the final minute but Wilson was denied by Gunn after being played through on goal
In such a back-and-forth game there weren't too many standout individual displays, but Wilson takes the honours for his two-goal haul
 He was disappointed he didn't make it a hat-trick when he spurned a late chance to finish past Gunn
Southampton finish the season with a trip to West Ham next Saturday and then a home game against Huddersfield on the final day
Bournemouth host Tottenham next Saturday, live on Sky Sports, then finish with a trip to Crystal Palace
