Southampton manager Ivan Juric: "I think today my guys gave everything they have. They are fighting well, playing well, creating chances. Of course Newcastle is the better team. I don't have many negative things to say to my guys."

On responding to defeats: "It's not easy of course but they have to work hard. We have splendid fans and we have to do our best and prepare well for the next game.

On Newcastle's penalty award: "Watching it now it was not a penalty. For me it can never be a penalty. For me it's a foul for us because he (Joe Aribo) is in front for the ball."

On hopes for the rest of the season: "Of course the situation is really bad but I want to fight and create something. I saw some good moments today. We have to understand really well which players are for the Premier League."
