West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola was delighted to see Carlton Cole amongst the goals in their victory over Middlesbrough.
Cole scored on his return to the starting XI after a groin injury.
"He's made a difference for us at certain moments of the season and it is just a pity that we couldn't have him in the crucial moments," said Zola.
The Italian hopes Southgate will remain at Boro, adding: "I'm sure he will bounce back straight away, he is a very good manager and a very positive person."
