Southampton boss Ruben Selles was happy with his players after defeat to Brighton.
Already relegated, Saints lost 3-1 on Sunday.
I think we showed professionalism, we showed a team that want to play, that want to fight and is together," Sells said. Unfortunately it was not enough.
We came here and we knew what we needed to do to get something from the game, in that medium block and be ready to counter-attack.
We had the first chance of the game with Carlos Alcaraz. If we scored that one, the game would be different, for sure.
We didn't, and we concede two goals that we need to avoid. In the half time it was about correcting some of the things and go and make our game.
We scored the first one on a set-piece, which have been better in the last part of the season.
We were ready to comeback and we scored the second goal that was disallowed by VAR, and the reality is that we keep them there for four, five minutes until we concede the third one."
