Fulham vs Southampton: New Saints manager Ivan Juric makes presence felt at Craven Cottage, secures vital point for new team

Given that the south-coast side had only earned one point in their away matches all season, Juric must have been thrilled with the disciplined and composed performance put on by his players against one of the top teams in the league.

In fact, the visitors largely frustrated Fulham all afternoon, reducing Marco Silva's team to a few long-range efforts, although they were grateful to have Aaron Ramsdale - wearing a special glove after his recent finger injury - back in goal as the England international was forced into one world-class reaction stop to preserve a point for Saints.

That moment came midway through the second period when substitute Adama Traore picked out Harry Wilson at the far post, only for Ramsdale to somehow keep out his close-range volley.

Other than that, Southampton - with Simon Rusk again taking temporary charge - were largely untroubled, although despite the hard-fought point they will be bottom of the table at Christmas, while Fulham move above Brighton and into ninth place.
