While Southampton's winning run came to an end, they collected a solid point at Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League with a 0-0 draw.
Southampton and Hapoel Be'er Sheva remain level at the top of Group K in the Europa League after they played out a goalless draw at Turner Stadium.
Although the visiting Saints had been on a four-match winning run in all competitions, they never really got going in front of a hostile crowd and instead clung to a fifth consecutive clean sheet.
While Claude Puel's side had beaten Sparta Prague 3-0 at home and Be'er Sheva had travelled to Inter's San Siro and won 2-0 on matchday one, neither team found their attacking rhythm as the defences came out on top.
