Southampton boss Koeman impressed by Isgrove, Targett

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is delighted with what he's seen from young duo Lloyd Isgrove and Matt Targett.

Isgrove grabbed the winner on Friday against friendly opponents Bournemouth.

"It was a fantastic header - he took a great position for a good cross from Clyney (Nathaniel Clyne)," Koeman told the club's official YouTube channel. "He got in front of the right back and it was a great goal.

"I like him as a player because he's fast, he can play one against one and he can create, which he has done very well. He's young he can develop himself and I'm very happy with his performance from the past two weeks.

"In pre-season there are some players a little bit more in the spotlight than others, but if you look to the left side of the team with Matthew Targett and Lloyd Isgrove they were two of our youngest and they played very well today."
