Southampton retained their spot at the top of Group K following their 0-0 draw with Hapoel Be’er Sheva at the Turner Stadium.
Having won their opening group game 3-0 against Sparta Prague, Claude Puel’s side could afford to relax on what looked to be a daunting trip. Opting to leave the likes of Dusan Tadic and Pierre Hojbjerg on the substitutes bench, the away side fielded a mixture of youth and experience as they chased their first European away win since the 1981/82 season.
The Saints should have gone ahead inside five minutes after Virgil Van Dijk escaped his marker from a set-piece.
