Last weekend was disappointing for Southampton as Brighton scored a late equaliser in a match the Saints should have won.

However, this week proved to be even more frustrating as Burnley came away with all three points against a lacklustre Southampton at St. Mary’s.

Sam Vokes’ 81^st minute header has put more pressure on Mauricio Pellegrino. Southampton now sit 13^th in the table, just five points above the relegation zone. The international break couldn’t have come at a better time for us as Pellegrino has a fortnight to gather his thoughts.

Here are the three takeaways from the match.
