Southampton Interim Head Coach: I think we did a great job today, full of pride and dignity

reported on May 26 that after Southampton lost 1-2 to Arsenal at home, interim coach Lask commented on the team's performance in this game at a press conference.

Stuart received a corner kick taken by Matteus in the 56th minute of the second half, and equalized with a wonderful header. Although Odgao scored the winning goal in the 89th minute, interim coach Lask was satisfied with the team's defensive performance.

For Stuart, this goal is of great significance. He has been suffering from injuries since joining Sunderland two summers ago. "There are a lot of highlights in the game, and overall we have a great defensive performance. We scored again through set pieces, which is good news for Stuart. I think we did a great job today, full of pride and dignity."

"He went through a tough time and seeing him celebrate this moment with fans, it was the most exciting part of today and he deserved it."

Lask also gave 18-year-old Jay Robinson the first first-team starting opportunity. As the former U21 coach, Lask knew Robinson very well. Robinson's shot was saved by David Raya, thus winning that corner.

Rask commented: "He is great, Jay is very humble, he is low-key, but has a good personality, making it an easy decision for me to start. I think his performance today and last week has proved that he is a Premier League player."
