Southampton supporters on Twitter expressed their dismay at their side’s 2-1 loss to Premier League strugglers Hull City.
After Charlie Austin’s early penalty gave Southampton a sixth minute lead against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium, fans of the Saints could be forgiven for anticipating a second victory in a matter of days.
Following Southampton’s midweek Europa League triumph over Italian giants Inter Milan, many supporters of the south coast club were in jubilant mood ahead of the trip to face Mike Phelan’s side.
However, Claude Puel’s men self-destructed and conceded twice within the space of a couple of second-half minutes.
The Tigers’ first goal came in the 61st minute, as Robert Snodgrass converted a Sam Clucas assist to secure his fourth Premier League strike of the season.
Snodgrass turned creator in the 63rd minute, as the Scotland international’s free-kick was headed past Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster by Hull defender Michael Dawson.
Saints fans on Twitter commented on several aspects of their team’s defeat, with some turning on their side’s performance by drawing contrast to the Inter Milan victory, poor record against the Premier League’s strugglers, Puel’s team selection, Forster’s goalkeeping display and even an early Christmas wish.
