Southampton star Jan Bednarek believes the club will work hard to overcome their last gasp defeat to Manchester United.

The Saints were excellent in the first half, emerging with a 2-0 lead.

However, they were unable to control United's flow of attacks in the second period, and succumbed 3-2 after an injury time Edinson Cavani winner.

Speaking after the game, Polish international Bednarek told the Daily Echo: "We are doing well but hard work will be the key now.

"I felt like we did very well in the first half. We had the game under control, they couldn't create any chances.

"But in the second half I think we felt a little bit too comfortable and were a little too sloppy. That's what happened there.

"Only one good half isn't enough. We still managed to have some chances but it wasn't enough.

"We still need to work very hard to get something."
