Southampton boss, Ralph Hasenhuttl, was not happy with his side after they lost to Newcastle United.
The Saints had been on a good run of form going into the game on Thursday, but were not at the races throughout the contest.
Instead, Newcastle picked up a narrow win, thanks to a great goal from new signing Bruno Guimaraes.
Speaking post-game, Hasenhuttl told BBC Match of the Day: “For sure we’re frustrated. We lost against a team who were fighting hard for the three points, had few chances. We had I think 11 shots inside the box and only scored once. That was the difference.

“The first 15 minutes after the second goal were tough for us, but in the last 20 minutes I felt we tried again to play how we can play. We had good opportunities to score against a deep-defending team. Players were lying on the ground with cramps and everything. I don’t know if they were doing it to break our rhythm.
“It’s not surprising that we lost a home game again, but the way we lost it for me was not necessary. I don’t know if we were the worst team today – no. It’s not about having possession. Football is a low-scoring game and we need to score in the right moments.
“Winning games in the Premier League is always tough. We have the next chance on Sunday at home and hopefully we’re a little more clinical then.”
