Southampton 0-0 West Brom

Ben Forster, Dusan Tadic, Graziano Pelle, and Ryan Bertrand make full home debuts as Southampton Claim their first home point this season under Ronald Koeman. James Ward comes close for the saints with a 25 yard free kick that flicks the outside of the post. Keeper Fraser Forster denies the Magpies a win when he saves Brown Ideye’s shot. Both sides have new managers and are rebuilding their sides after transition. Koeman:

We didn’t have the quality to create a lot. I was disappointed by the level we had today in an offensive way

Irvine:

I think both teams had their spells when they controlled things. We perhaps didn’t create enough when we did have the ball
