Southampton failed to capitalise on last week’s win over Aston Villa and instead fell to a poor 3-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday.

Goals from Jarrod Bowen and Sebastian Haller either side of Michael Obafemi’s equaliser completed the scoring in the first-half, and Michail Antonio added a third shortly after half-time.

With other results going against them too, the gap between Saints and the bottom three has been cut from 10 points to seven in one afternoon.

There are still teams in a much worse position than Saints at this stage of the season but a reaction against both Newcastle and Norwich will be vital.

Here are the Player Ratings from today’s loss:
