Southampton lacked finishing touch vs. Manchester United - Yoshida

Maya Yoshida has called on Southampton to show the kind of clinical edge displayed by Romelu Lukaku in Manchester United's victory at St Mary's.

A new season and change in management has yet to bring around a change of fortunes for Southampton, with the team struggling for goals and home wins under Claude Puel's successor Mauricio Pellegrino.

Saturday's 1-0 defeat to United means Southampton have already lost 11 top-flight matches in 2017 -- as many as they did in the whole of 2016 -- and have failed to score in eight of their last nine Premier League matches on home turf.
