Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez has admitted his disappointment with their 1-1 draw with FC Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday.

Rodriguez, from the penalty spot, scored his first goal since returning from a serious knee injury sustained in 2014 to even things up against the Danish champions, but the forward was frustrated with the result at St Mary's.

"Of course we're frustrated not to get the win, the first half was strange and their goal came at a bad time. We had chances to win the game and we're disappointed," the striker told BT Sport.

"I was happy to get back in the game, and happy to score. I've been waiting [for the crowd response] and I'm back to get the goals.

"We have full belief in our squad in our team and we'll go there looking to get the win."

Southampton return to action when they travel to newly-promoted Watford this weekend.
