Southampton head coach Will Still says it is time to turn performances into wins after his side was held to a 1-1 draw by Middlesbrough.

Saints, who had made six alterations from their previous league game, took a second-half lead against the Championship leaders through Adam Armstrong, but were pegged back by Kaly Sene's 77th minute equaliser.

The result means Still's team has not won since the opening day of the season, a run of six games and they languish in 19th.

"The performance was really positive and really encouraging, but we need to change those into points and into wins," Still told BBC Radio Solent.

"A lot of the players that played on Tuesday deserved to be back in the team and we need to find that balance - we're almost there.

"We're fine-tuning things and we're a couple of hairs from turning interesting stuff into wins - that's what we need to do."
