Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino urges his team to 'fight for every single point' after narrow West Brom victory

Southampton must continue to fight for every single point in the Premier League, manager Mauricio Pellegrino has said after their narrow 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Moroccan midfielder Sofiane Boufal ran almost the length of the pitch to score a stunning 85th-minute goal at the St Mary's Stadium to help the Saints post their third win of the season.

Goals have been in short supply for Southampton - Boufal's wonder-strike was their eighth of the season - but Pellegrino said he was happy with the team's style of play.

'In football in the Premier League you have to fight for every single point,' the Argentine manager said.
