High-flying Southampton have two goals disallowed and miss out on chance to go third on frustrating Boxing Day as they are held to a goalless draw by Fulham

Southampton and Ralph Hasenhuttl suffered a double dose of frustration as they were held to a goalless draw at Fulham.

Twice Hasenhuttl was on the pitch in the second half, sprinting on to celebrate what he thought were the goals that would earn his side a hard-fought win to lift them back up to third.

But twice he was forced to trudge back to his dugout disappointed as Shane Long and then Theo Walcott had their efforts ruled out for offside leaving the south coast side forced to settle for a point.
