Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse admits there's disappointment after defeat to Fulham.

Carlos Vinicius and Aleksandar Mitrovic struck to confirm Southampton's relegation.

Ward-Prowse said, "It's disappointing. It is a moment that has been coming. We knew we had put ourselves in a difficult position. When these things happen you go away individually and as a club and ask if you have done enough? I don't think we have . We talk about leaving things out there and ultimately that is why we are where we are now.

"Have decisions been right? Have we been good enough on the pitch? Have we done enough as a team to progress? I believe we should be performing at a better level than we have done and we have not done that on a consistent basis. The standards have slipped away and that is why we are where we are now.

"I have been here right through form eight-years-old, for all the ups an downs. I'm sure with the good people at the club it will be back in the Premier League in no time."

Asked about his future, Ward-Prowse said: "I'm not thinking too far ahead. We've just been relegated form the Premier League. I'm not looking beyond tomorrow. It's about sticking together and dealing with it in the right way. Over the last 10 years we have had that kind of consistency and that has wavered. It will be testing for everybody but these are the times that make you as a player and as a club, we have done it before and we will do it again."
