Hasenhuttl picks out most ‘disappointing’ part of ‘horrible’ Southampton loss Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl identified the most ‘disappointing’ aspect of their bruising 9-0 defeat, and managed to keep his emotions in check when speaking about the referee in charge. Southampton conceded nine for the second time in just over a year when slipping to a crushing defeat against Man Utd. An early red card for youngster Alexandre Jankewitz left them with a mountain to climb, one that became a near-impossible task as the Red Devils seemingly scored at will throughout the contest. Jan Bednarek became the Saints’ second dismissal late on for a seemingly innocuous foul on Anthony Martial. The decision bemused the centre-half who host broadcaster BT Sport picked up saying while trundling down the tunnel: “Martial said it wasn’t a foul.” Speaking to the BBC after the match, Hasenhuttl said: “One man down after three minutes against this opponent, congrats to Man United and they worked us off and did not stop scoring. The second red card is most disappointing, we don’t have anymore players.

Last week he was our VAR and made his mark in the game.
