Southampton manager Russell Martin said he was “really angry and annoyed” after Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy scored a dramatic injury-time equaliser to deny the Saints their first Premier League win of the season.
The hosts had been beaten in all of their first four top-flight games of 2024-25, but pounced on a mistake from the visitors to take the lead after only five minutes through Tyler Dibling’s first goal for the club.
But Ipswich equalised in the fifth minute of seven added on to leave Martin’s side in the bottom three, with just one point from five matches.
“It was our best performance, but it wasn’t enough to get the win so I’m allowed to be angry and annoyed,” said Martin afterwards.
You could see why he would be so upset.
A goal up against a fellow newly-promoted side, but two misses from Cameron Archer, one of which hit the post after he went around away goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, saw a failure to kill the game off prove costly.
However, Ipswich were good value for their equaliser, which finally came in the 95th minute in a match where Aaron Ramsdale had to make a number of good saves.
But while the away side celebrated as if they had won at the end, it felt like a defeat for Martin and his players.
