Southampton's hopes of a morale-boosting win were dashed by a last-minute Steven Naismith equaliser as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Championship Norwich in the FA Cup on Saturday. Goals from defensive duo Virgil van Dijk and Maya Yoshida looked to have set Saints on course for their first victory of 2017, but the disappointing draw did little to ease the pressure on manager Claude Puel following a run of three straight Premier League defeats.
Positives
Van Dijk showed he is ready to step into the shoes of want-away captain Jose Fonte -- omitted from the 18-man squad after handing in a transfer request -- with a commanding performance, crowned by the opening goal.
