Southampton boss Ronald Koeman says they have only themselves to blame for defeat at Burnley.

Ashley Barnes' deflected shot in the 73rd minute, after Tom Heaton had earlier saved Dusan Tadic's penalty, earned the Clarets a 1-0 victory over Southampton.

Koeman hailed Burnley's "unbelievable spirit" but was disappointed with the penalty, saying: "It's good goalkeeping but it's a bad penalty."

Southampton had 60 per cent of the possession and 15 shots to Burnley's seven but Koeman was left frustrated that again they could not make their chances count.

"I'm very disappointed," he said. "I think it's the same story as the last few games.

"We played well. The start of the game was difficult, they started a little bit better. They played direct football, battled for the second ball, but I think after 20 minutes we controlled the game.

"We didn't create a lot in the first half but from the start of the second half until missing the penalty we played great football. We had the best chances, had total domination and I waited for the goal.

"We had good chances to kill the game at that moment and one mistake - it's our throw-in and it ended with a goal for Burnley.

"Why we didn't win today, why we didn't win against Manchester United, and why we had a run of winning games, it's all about scoring chances and more mistakes in defence.

"Maybe it's a little bit confidence now as well after the four defeats."
