Ronald Koeman pleased with Southampton reaction

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman says that his side showed a "positive reaction" to their defeat to Manchester City in their match against Arsenal.

Ronald Koeman has said that his Southampton side showed a "good positive reaction" against Arsenal after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at the weekend.

The Saints were beaten 1-0 at the Emirates thanks to a late goal from Alexis Sanchez this evening, just three days after suffering their heaviest defeat since Koeman's arrival at the club.

The manager told BBC Sport: "We had a good positive reaction after last Sunday, a good first half, good ball possession, a good chance off Pelle. After an hour it was more difficult, Arsenal were pressing more but the difference was 11 v 10.

"We were unlucky to get a player injured after making all of our substitutions, you know they will create chances and in the last few minutes they made it 1-0. Forster had a very good game today.

"We knew it would be difficult but the performance today is better than Sunday. We know we don't have the numbers of players that Arsenal and Manchester United have."

The defeat leaves Southampton third in the table, just a point ahead of Manchester United.
