Southampton v Bournemouth – Report and analysis

Goalless without Gabbiadini

The Saints’ new Italian striker was the main focus of the match day programme, pictured alongside a Lamborghini as a nod to the chant fans have given their new hero, however that was as far as his involvement went on the night.

Watching on from a sponsor’s box the former Napoli man will have cringed at the chances missed by messrs Tadic, Rodriguez and Long, knowing that given a go he could well have put them away.

Puel must now be thinking about adding further firepower come this summer.
