Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports:
“We were saying with Saliba and Gabriel as the two centre-backs, Ben White gets drawn across and he doesn’t know whether to run across.
“He comes across and there he’s a centre-back, you’ve got to stay as a centre-back, he sees him too late and by that time it’s a goal.
“Southampton deserved it. Showed great character, under a lot of pressure, I thought they were impressive in the second half and deserved it.”
