Premier League: Sunderland and Southampton share spoils in drab 1-1 draw

Image: It was hardly a classic at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland and Southampton shared the spoils

Sunderland and Southampton edged that little bit closer to ensuring their top flight survival as they shared the points in an uninspiring 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light.

Pochettino was pleased not just with the performance of his team on the day but throughout his stay at Southampton. He told Sky Sports: "Yes, we are happy. The players have put in an amazing performance in the four months that I have been here." Black Cats boss Di Canio declared himself pleased with a point on the grounds that his team had been outplayed. "It is a good point because obviously we didn't play a fantastic match," he told Sky Sports. "Southampton did a better job than us so it's obvious at the end of the game it's a very important point."
