Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has faith in Graziano Pelle despite his long-running goal drought.

Following a blistering start to the campaign, Italian striker Pelle has gone spectacularly off the boil in recent times and has not found the back of the net for the Saints in over two months.

Despite the goalless run, manager Koeman is not pointing fingers at his star striker and has stated that entire team should be blamed for Pelle's woes in front of goal.

Koeman said: "It's not a problem about one player.

"At the beginning of the season opponents don't care about how they play against Southampton, but we don't get that space we got in the beginning.

"So it's even more important to have good movement and confidence in the front positions. It's not only about Pelle, we need midfielders to do the passing on the right moment."
