Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl was not happy with the way Newcastle approached their Premier League game on Sunday.

Despite being the home side, the Magpies spent most of the game defending and looking to hit the Saints on the break.

Southampton dominated possession and had many chances, but were undone by two counter attacks and lost 2-1.

After the game, Hasenhuttl told reporters: "I don't know what my opponent [Newcastle boss Steve Bruce] said before he was here, and I don't know how he saw the game, but I saw only my team playing football to be honest.

"We didn't get three points but that's football sometimes, they had two chances and got the goals.

"That's sometimes a pity but if we look on the three performances this week, two wins at home, and a brave game away from home, maybe our best of the season, I must be proud of how the players played.

"When the opponent was really struggling, they tried to play the long balls to [Andy] Carroll and that isn't easy to defend as everybody knows he is 10 feet tall.

"It's a pity we lost the game in the end because, even after the equaliser, we were playing football and we were creating chances again.

"We had a few ones after set-pieces where we missed the goal because they were just too short."
