⚽ What Southampton need to do to get a result

With both teams desperate for momentum, this one feels like a big afternoon at the Riverside.

Southampton are held to a goalless draw by Millwall at St Mary’s.Plenty of the ball, plenty of pressure – but once again not enough quality where it matters. Southampton dominated possession and territory, but managed just two shots on target as the cutting edge completely deserted them.Millwall were happy to sit in and look dangerous on the break, with Femi Azeez causing problems throughout, while Max Crocombe proved impossible to beat in the Lions goal. Taylor Harwood-Bellis was denied from point-blank range and Finn Azaz missed a huge chance deep into stoppage time to win it.This result means Saints are now winless in five and drifting in mid-table, with familiar questions being asked once again.In this instant reaction I break it all down: • What went wrong • Missed chances that summed it up • Standout performers (and who struggled) • Where Saints go from here
