Southampton dropped points at home today in a 1-0 loss to Swansea City, thanks to a stunning strike from Jonjo Shelvey late in the match. Despite the loss, Saints’ boss Ronald Koeman believes Southampton was the better side throughout the match and that they were “unlucky” to walk away with nothing.
