Southampton couldn’t find a way past Newcastle on Saturday and had to settle for a second consecutive 0-0 draw in the Premier League.

The result will only increase the already growing pressure on both the players and manager Mark Hughes as this was an ideal game to get their season back on track.

Good spells at the beginning of the match and the end saw decent attacking play, but ultimately there wasn’t enough clear-cut chances created to get the win.

The side’s inability to score is a concern again and another blank in this match saw them goalless in their last five league games.
