Norwich boss Farke disappointed after Southampton thumping

Norwich City boss Daniel Farke was left disappointed with their defending for defeat at home to Southampton.

Southampton were comfortable 3-0 winners at Norwich City for their Premier League restart on Friday.

Saints top scorer Danny Ings curled in the opener shortly after half-time, before Stuart Armstrong doubled their lead five minutes later.

Norwich looked lacklustre at an eerily empty Carrow Road, and Nathan Redmond confirmed a win for Southampton against his old club when he slotted into the bottom right corner late on.

Farke lamented, "To concede two goals that quick in the second half was of course a defining moment in terms of confidence. We had setbacks we had to accept. The confidence was not there.

"It's important that you are effective. The situations before the two goals were ones you should not concede. We were just not willing enough to follow the movement."
