Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg floored by late Cardiff winner

Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was left floored by their 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City.

Kenneth Zohore's dramatic stoppage-time finish clinched the points for Cardiff.

“I'm speechless. I don't quite know the words to put in," lamented Saints skipper Højbjerg.

“The only thing I can say that makes sense right now is that we, as a group, as a team and as a club, need these days to get together and analyse our small mistakes and details.

“Then we're going to improve, do better, work harder and come back as a stronger side.

“They (the coaches) prepared everything for us, we just had to put it into play. I think we did alright and in some parts of the game we created what we had to.

“You have to give credit to Cardiff for keeping believing, because in this case you have to believe until the end."
