West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen says their 0-0 draw a Southampton was a fair result.

West Ham dominated possession – seeing 58 per cent of the ball at St Mary's – but were not at their sharpest in the final third, while Southampton ended the contest strongly with substitute Armando Broja hitting the post and having a header cleared off the line by Declan Rice. Michail Antonio was sent off for the visitors.

“It could have been three points, but then they could have had a couple of goals at the end when they hit the post, and then Dec clears one off the line," said Bowen.

“So, it's one of those afternoons where we had a lot of the ball, but ultimately in the final third – where we've been really good recently – we were a bit off today.

“It's disappointing, but when you're not fully at it, keeping a clean sheet and getting a point away from home has to be looked at as a positive.

“It's another point in hopefully another successful season."
