Ronald Koeman: 'Southampton deserved Liverpool draw'

Ronald Koeman claims that Southampton "deserved at least one point" from their Premier League clash with Liverpool.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has suggested that his team deserved their draw at Liverpool.

The South Coast club fell behind when Christian Benteke scored the Reds' first Premier League goal under manager Jurgen Klopp, but Sadio Mane's equaliser earned a point for the visitors.

However, Koeman has claimed that his team's performance might have warranted victory at Anfield.

He told BBC Sport: "We deserved at least one point but honestly it was not our best performance but we had a good reaction after going down to a great goal from Christian Benteke.

"Our defensive organisation is good, it is difficult to create chances against us. Teams like Liverpool, if they have a change in management, there is always a change in expectation.

"I know that, I have played for big teams and I know the expectation on the manager of Liverpool is always bigger than that of Southampton."

Southampton remain ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League table on goal difference.
