Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was happy with their 0-0 draw at Fulham.

But he felt his side were unlucky not to take all three.

“I think it was ok," Hasenhüttl said of the goalless draw at Craven Cottage. “I think we had bigger chances than the opponent and scored two goals – the second one was fantastic play, so a little bit unlucky.

“We had a big chance in the first half after the free-kick from Prowsey, when Ché had a big chance to score.

“I saw one handball in the box that I think can be a penalty, but in the end to take a point here is not so bad.

“It's tough here – the pitch is tight, they put on a lot of pressure and if you concede a goal you have nearly no chance to come back, so the clean sheet was the most important thing today.

“You could always see that the opponent was dangerous but we defended well, especially around the box.

“There were some defending scenes I remember when we had to come behind the ball to block shots, especially in overtime when Jack blocked a shot that was important.

“After the changes we had in the team, it was important that the new players coming in showed up immediately, so that was good.

“I'm happy for the point for the guys. After the loss against Man City, it was important that we take the next point without losing again."
