Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has played down his midweek clash with Arsenal rival Arsene Wenger.

The pair exchanged words following the goalless draw at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

"What was written in the press was true, and that's all," said Koeman. "It's emotions in football and it happened, and we go on.

"Do I regret it? If I talk it's what I mean, of course. No, I don't think (it will affect our relationship).

"It's always a little bit of emotions and he was very disappointed about the result because they had some good chances."
