Our Under-21s were left frustrated as Southampton escaped from Hotspur Way with maximum points in the Premier League 2 on Saturday afternoon.
Despite controlling the game for long spells and missing a big chance to take the lead when Oli Irow blazed over the bar, we fell behind seven minutes before the break when Baylee Dipepa fired home from the right angle inside the box before substitute Joe O’Brien-Whitmarsh doubled the visitors’ lead on the hour with a pinpoint low shot into the bottom corner.
Defender Pele Arganese-McDermott reduced the arrears when he headed home his first goal in our colours nine minutes later but despite Reiss Russell-Denny and James Rowswell going close and Yusuf Akhamrich hitting the bar, we couldn’t find an equaliser and slipped to a 2-1 defeat.
