Hughes: 'Southampton deserved more than a point'
Southampton manager Mark Hughes has bemoaned his side's lack of conviction after their 0-0 draw against south coast rivals, Bournemouth.
Southampton missed a number of clear-cut opportunities that would have seen them take all three points, and Hughes feels they deserved more.
"I was really pleased. I think the manner of the performance is what we take from it. I thought on the day we had the clearer-cut chances in general play and obviously could've won it right at the death with a great opportunity for Gabby [Gabbiadini]," he said.
"He just couldn't get over it, and I think it would have been no less than we deserved. We came here against a team who were absolutely flying and they didn't get any kind of momentum in the 90 minutes.
"We were always a threat and I think our efforts deserved more than the point. It was important to make a statement after the disappointment last time out against Chelsea."
