Goals from Evanilson, Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo gave Bournemouth a first home league win of season; Taylor Harwood-Bellis could only get a consolation for the Saints.
The result means that Bournemouth climb to 11th in the table with 8 points from 6 games played while Southampton sit 19th with 1 point and still winless in the Premier League.
Southampton manager Russell Martin told Sky Sports: “I’m so hurt by the first-half performance after the first goal. I didn’t recognise our team. I’m usually proud of them for the courage they show but there was no aggression and no courage, no intensity to play. Looking around I saw self-preservation mode on the pitch.
“I didn’t recognise the body language. I didn’t like that one bit. In the second half, they showed lots of fight and courage which was too late.
“I’m really hurt and disappointed by the first half. It’s on me and I have to give them some tools to respond to the setback better than we did.
“We obviously haven’t learned from the setback at the Manchester United game which is a problem.
“We were soft, so forget style of play. If you don’t want to run, fight and make contact, take things personally – we didn’t come out with the ball at all in the first half – then it’s going to be a problem.”
On Bournemouth’s first goal, Semenyo said to Sky Sports: “We watched a couple of videos in meetings during the week and so knew we could catch them out with some quick free-kicks.
“It was quick thinking from Tav [Tavernier] and a great finish from Evan [Evanilson]. I’m buzzing for him and he’s going to be a problem for teams this season.”
On his own form and ability to play off both his right and left foot, Semenyo said: “I’ve been practising all my life and I’m blessed to be able to play with both feet.”
