Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl had no complaints after their 2-0 defeat to Leicester City.
James Maddison and Harvey Barnes struck Leicester's goals.
Hasenhuttl later said, "It's never nice to lose a game but we had chances. We hit the bar, we fought with everything we have.
"We are definitely a team that is never giving up. The quality of the opponent was better than ours today.
"The first goal, you don't shoot at goal like that every day, it was fantastic from Maddison. We had good chances but we couldn't finish and that was the difference.
"It doesn't look good at the moment, we have a lot of injuries and not many alternatives. The good news is we have 29 points and they don't take them away from us."
He added: "It is a strange season, I have never had so many injuries but it's a tough schedule with no pre-season and there is no time to worry about it."
