Southampton are four rounds without a win in the English Premier League. The “Saints” did not go beyond a goalless draw in their home game against West Ham United on Tuesday night, sharing the points for the third time in their last four games. Ralph Hasenhüttl did not train on site, but from home. Styrian, 53, had self-isolated after someone in his home tested positive for the corona virus.
Hasenhüttl, who had audio and video contact with his technical team throughout the match, is the third English Premier League coach to miss a Covid-19-related match. Previously it was West Hams David Moyes and Fulhams Scott Parker.
Lost jump to the top four
Southampton failed to capitalize on significantly more possession, missing the potential leap to the top four in the league and remain ninth. West Ham is four points behind 10th and has also drawn three times and lost one in the last four games.
Southampton was able to stop at least one negative trend in a direct duel with the “Hammers” and prevented the sixth consecutive defeat. “With this in mind, the result was good, but unfortunately we failed to score,” said assistant coach Richard Kitzbichler. The 46-year-old Tyrolean was in the front row instead of Hasenhüttl. It remains to be seen whether this will be the case in the coup against Liverpool on January 4. “The game is very important, so we have to find our way again,” Kitzbichler said.
Ninth win for ManUnited
Manchester United managed to jump from fourth to second due to a 1-0 home win against Wolverhampton. Marcus Rashford only secured the ninth win of the season for the “Red Devils” in the 93rd minute with a deflected shot from Bruno Fernandes.
Arsenal continued their gentle upward trend. The Gunners celebrated a 1-0 victory at Brighton and Hove Albion thanks to a goal from Alexandre Lacazette (66.), who had been substituted 43 seconds earlier, and were able to improve after the 3-1 derby against Chelsea after seven times in a row he had been without a win. This at least put him 13th on the chart.
