Perhaps all is not lost for Russell Martin? Having watched them chase shadows for the first hour against high-flying Brighton, the Southampton manager saw his side finally pick up their first away point of the season thanks to an inspirational performance from teenager Tyler Dibling.

Had the VAR not ruled out a winning goal from Cameron Archer for a dubious offside then this really would have been a night to savour for Martin, who squared up to his opposite number Fabian Hürzeler at the full-time whistle in an ill-tempered end to proceedings on the south coast.
