Southampton head coach Russell Martin believes his players showed an aggressive mentality to overcome Leeds United at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
“I didn’t particularly enjoy the second half but also I enjoyed the other side of the game, they fought together, they dug in, [were] really hard to play against.
“Leeds created very little, looked most dangerous on set-pieces, really,” Martin added, offering his thoughts on Farke’s men. The south coast club had been on a four-game losing streak heading into this fixture but were in front with two minutes on the clock. Armstrong exploited space between Leeds’ defenders and applied a chipped finish which beat Illan Meslier at the near post.
Martin’s opposite number made complaints about Southampton’s first and second goals, but said Leeds could not use the absence of VAR for the first, or Crysencio Summerville being off the pitch in the build-up to Smallbone’s finish, as an excuse for defeat.Related topics:
