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.

TORONTO -- Eric Lindros carved an unprecedented path to hockey stardom, including where the incoming Hall of Famer lived when he entered the NHL.It was about a month into Lindros rookie season with the Philadelphia Flyers that the prodigy asked to move in with veteran teammate Kevin Dineen and his newlywed wife, Annie.And I was like, `Ah, let me go home and talk to my wife about that, Dineen recalled almost 25 years later.Lindros had already bought a townhouse with everything you could ever want, but he was also a teenager in an unforgiving American city. Dineen figures he was probably a little bit lonely.So Lindros spent two years in the Dineens home, flush with dogs and a growing, makeshift family. The unlikely unit ate breakfast and dinner together, and sometimes Lindros and Dineen sneaked into classes at the University of Pennsylvania, where Annie was working toward her masters degree.It was funny in a lot of ways, Dineen said. It was like having a little brother who was much bigger than you.Finally entering the Hockey Hall of Fame alongside Rogie Vachon, Sergei Makarov and the late Pat Quinn, Lindros had an incomparable career on and off the ice. He was a maverick in a sport of rigid rules and a talent on the ice not seen before or since.He was probably the most dominant player during his time in the NHL, longtime teammate Rod BrindAmour said.At 6-foot-4 and more than 200 pounds, Lindros was like a freight train on skates, but with the agility and skills to move like a race car.BrindAmour still remembers hopelessly trying to defend Lindros at his first practice with the Flyers in 1992. Lindros had one hand on his stick as he rushed down the wing but still somehow whipped a wrist shot into the top corner.And Im like, nobody can do that in the NHL, BrindAmour said. And of course, if he wanted to run you over, he could run you through the boards. And then if you wanted to fight, he could fight. There was just nothing that he couldnt really do. And that was impressive because there wasnt really anyone in the NHL that could do everything.Dineen believes Lindros should be remembered as a progressive force. The hockey world could have its opinions, but LLindros stood by his best interests.ddddddddddddHe gets painted a little bit with the ugly brush because of the stands he took, said Dineen, now a Chicago Blackhawks assistant coach.Lindros twice refused to play for the team that drafted him No. 1 overall. He famously spurned the NHLs Quebec Nordiques in 1991, later saying he didnt want to play for owner Marcel Aubut, and that came two years after he declined to play for Sault Ste. Marie of the Ontario Hockey League -- the club eventually to traded him to Oshawa.Lindros sat out the 2000-01 season waiting for a trade out of Philadelphia following a bitter public spat with general manager Bobby Clarke regarding the treatment of Lindros injuries, including multiple concussions. Compare that to the handling of current stars like Sidney Crosby, whose concussions have been handled by the Penguins with caution.Its not like youre looking to go upstream, Lindros said. The choices that I made were choices that other people had done before me. It wasnt like it was fresh territory.Perhaps not on a case-by-case basis, but the entirety of Lindros off-ice drama is unprecedented among NHL superstars.And still, his career will be defined as much by what it wasnt as what it was.Injuries limited him to fewer than 800 regular season games and retirement at age 34. He has some of the finest seasons ever in the league on his resume, but no longevity to go with it. And of course, Lindros also lacks a precious Stanley Cup title.What could his career have been with good health? BrindAmour thinks Lindros brute, physical style likely would have degraded his productivity with time.Regardless, the powerful Lindros made a dent on the sport. His dominance and distinctiveness cant be denied.Hes one in a lifetime, BrindAmour said. I dont know if youll ever see a player like him because the games changed so much now. The physical part of the game is kind of out the door. No kids growing up are trying to be like that. Its all skill and skating, so I dont know that youre going to see that kind of player again. ' ' '
