Pochettino: Youth in the ascendancy at Southampton

Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino is delighted by the strength of the youth set-up down on the South coast. While impressed by the youngsters at his disposal, Pochettino insists he will not rush the progression of those players.

"I was at the game and there were many first-team players that were there as well watching the game," he said.

"I think we need to give him time and not just Sam Gallagher, but a large percentage of the players that played in that game. They could have their chance with the first-team.

"We need to be patient with them overall and understand that every single case involves an individual and that they all need their own individual time to progress, mature and be part of the team."
