Southampton had a goal chalked off by VAR in their 2-0 defeat at Wolves in a crucial game at the bottom of the Premier League - but Russell Martin blamed his players for the loss

On Wolves boss Gary O'Neil, who was Martin's team-mate during his playing days: "I look forward to catching up with him. I had a lot of time for him as a team-mate and as a person. I think he's done a great job and did great last season. I have no doubt they [Wolves] will hit their stride at some point."

I think we need that experience in the team right now. Adam has a lot of voice on the pitch and off the pitch, so he is a big part of what we're doing."
