Ronald Koeman bemoaned Southampton mistakes in 2-2 draw with Leicester

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman insists mistakes cost his side all three points as Leicester came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at St. Mary’s.

The home side made a flying start and went into the break with a two-goal advantage thanks to defenders Jose Fonte and Virgil van Dijk.

However, Leicester roared back through two goals to from Jamie Vardy to rescue a point and Koeman criticised his side's game management during the second 45 minutes.

"I think it was a difficult game from the start," Koeman told Sky Sports.

"We scored twice from the set-pieces which is one of our strengths and I expected the second-half to be as it was.

"I think our problem in the second half was that we made too many mistakes in how you have to play when you are 2-0 up.

"If you watch the two goals they scored it is out of our possession but you have to keep good organisation."

Despite Koeman's disappointment with the result, the Dutchman was full of praise for Leicester's comeback and hailed their belief.

He added: "Leicester showed again today a great spirit. They have a great belief that they can take a point even after being 2-0 down

"We didn't play well but that was about the spirit and pressing of our opponent.

"In the second half they seemed much fresher than us and in the end they deserved the point."
