Pochettino feels Southampton unlucky not to get something at Everton

Mauricio Pochettino believes his Southampton side deserved to take at least a point back to the south coast on Sunday.

The Saints were beaten 2-1 by Everton at Goodison Park as Seamus Coleman and Romelu Lukaku scored either side of Gaston Ramirez' 71st-minute equaliser.

Pochettino, who saw his Southampton team stay ninth on the Premier League table, felt slightly aggrieved at the result after the visitors put in a good shift on Merseyside.

"I thought overall it was a very good game, with both teams going forward and playing good, attacking football," Pochettino said.

"But it is a shame, because we leave with nothing and I think we deserved a lot more from this game.

"My team played very well. There were many phases of the game in which we were actually superior to Everton.

"It is clear that we are a young team, but this team has personality and a certain attacking style, and we try to impose this wherever we are playing, always going for the win.

"When we recover some of the players we have missing, it will make us even stronger."
