Nuno says West Ham's slow start cost them against Southampton
Nuno Espírito Santo said West Ham's hesitant start cost them in the 3-2 defeat by Southampton. Conceding twice inside 10 minutes left them chasing the game, and Southampton scored a third before half-time.
In comments reported by the Press Association and carried by The Irish News, Nuno said his side allowed Southampton too many second and third phases and failed to control the first half. He felt West Ham combined better after that and fought to the end, but their second-half response could not undo the damage.
