Southampton boss Koeman insists no problem with Pelle attitude

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has no problem with the attitude of Graziano Pelle.

The goals have dried up for the Italian after a great start to life in the Premier League, and he was replaced in the starting line-up by Shane Long in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

Pelle ran straight down the tunnel at the final whistle.

"There has been a little bit of a reaction, yes, because nobody is happy to stay on the bench," the Saints boss said.

"Sometimes you need a reaction off the player in that situation."
