Hope you enjoyed the commentary with me, Rebecca Stephenson. Bye for now!

Thanks for all your tweets on tonight's game. A great performance by Middlesbrough. Southampton probably deserved a draw, but they were undone by one of the best free-kick's you'll see this season.
95
Middlesbrough travel to Watford next week and could overhaul Cardiff for the final playoff spot - if the Welsh side slip up
95
West Ham can close the gap on Southampton to two points on Monday if they beat Leicester.
95 The referee blows - that's full-time and Middlesbrough have kept their faint hopes of the playoffs alive - and Southampton will have to wait to celebrate promotion
95
Southampton lump the ball forward in desperation but to no avail
95
Middlesbrough break and win a corner, this should see out the game for them
93
Still 90 seconds to go, but Nicky Bailey needs treatment after being caught on the head by his own player
93
Southampton fans looking resigned to their fate now
92
This would be a great result and performance from a Middlesbrough side who have won just once in nine games
91
Southampton have yet another corner...but the delivery is poor from Sharp
90
We're going to have 5 added minutes at the Riverside
88
Southampton have another corner...but its headed over by Hooiveld
87
Corner for Southampton, long range shot from Fox hits Do Prado and spins agonisingly wide
83 Morgan Schneiderlin replaces Danny Butterfield for Southampton
83
Long range shot from Do Prado goes just over
81
And Middlesbrough could still yet catch Cardiff to reach the playoffs - if it stays like this
79
West Ham are still alive in this promotion race.
78
Beautiful strike from Zemmama silences the Saints fans.. can they save this game in the last 12 minutes?
77 GOAL: Zemmama hits a fantastic free kick into the net
75 Foul by Fonte, as he grabs Jutkiewicz as the pair chase a high ball - free kick just outside the area for Boro
73
Rhys Williams with a driving run, but Hooiveld blocks him off.. Boro are getting the upper hand
71
Kelvin Davies tips a long range shot round the post from Curtis Main - it was the rain that made that so dangerous, although it was probably going wide
69
Overhead kick from Lambert, but he slices it wide - he had time to control that, but went for the spectacular
66
The corner ends up in the goalkeeper's hands.. Middlesbrough are trying to reassert themselves in this game.
65
Sharp gets in on the blind side of McManus but the Boro man recovers to concede a corner
64
Richard Fiander "Rich in the French alps here... can't get to the pub as working.. c'mon you saints!!! What a day to go up when Pompey are relegated!
63
So where's this game going then? Who's going to get the winner? - tweet @1rebs
62 Chaplow is replaced by Do Prado
60
Looks like Richard Chaplow could've tweaked a hamstring as he ran through then.. shame - he's been instrumental for Saints tonight. looks as though he'll be replaced
58 Scott McDonald is replaced by Curtis Main and Barry Robson is replaced by Rhys Williams for Boro
56
The resulting free kick is blasted wide by Lambert
56
Seb Hines is VERY lucky to still be on the pitch
55
Lallana brought down on the edge of the box when clean through by Seb Hines - he's already been booked... but referee, Tony Bates, has let him off!
53
Zach Havard "Saints To win With Lambert Goal!"
52
Ball bouncing around in the box, after Boro surrender possession, finally scrambled out for a corner - it's all Saints now
52
Billy Sharp should be celebrating his second goal as the ball falls to him on the penalty spot, but he blazes over the bar
50 Very late challenge by Hines on Cork earns him a booking
49
The free kick was a long way out, and labert struck it hard..fast... but well wide!
48 Nicky Bailey deservedly gets a yellow card, cynically bringing down Lallana as he was on the attack
46
Southampton almost start the second half like they did the first but Lallana's shot is blocked - Southampton win a corner, which came to nothing
45
Here we go for the second half
Graeme Tinham "Boro need to do West ham a favour now!"

Scott Briggs "apart from the goal fantastic half from the boro keeping the dream alive! Great strike from bailey on the stroke of half time"
Scrongle "No matter what happens, Southampton have been up there all year and deserve the prize. We simply have not been good enough"

46
and Middlesbrough have the ball in the net again - but this time its offside
46
Nicky Bailey scores a deserved equaliser right on the stroke of half time
46 Middlesbrough level it up!!!!

44
Corner from McMahon comes to nothing though
43

40 Justin Hoyte is replaced by Joe Bennett for Boro
37
Free kick from Danny Fox from the free kick whistles just past the post - that was a good strike
37 Zemmama booked for a foul on Chaplow - he's not happy, but it was deserved
"and now you're going to believe us, the Saints are going up" - The Southampton fans are in full voice behind the goal!

33
The game's a lot more even now, Southampton seem to have weathered the storm

26

21
Great move from Southampton, 30-40 passes results in a chance for Richard Chaplow but he blasts it over.. what a goal that would've been

9
McDonald puts the ball in for Boro but good defending from Southampton

Middlesbrough caught offside as they look to get a foothold in the game
Of course Middlesbrough need to win to keep themselves in with a shout of making the playoffs. and they're recovering after that shock start

That should settle the nerves for the Saints, who will gain promotion with a win tonight
