The Saints started off their Dutch tour with a comprehensive win over Ronald Koeman's former team.

Goals from José Fonte, Sadio Mané and Graziano Pellè were enough to give the visitors a win in a good test for them to open the tour.

Over 12,000 watched Koeman coming back to his hometown against the side he started his professional career with

The Saints boss said “We had to score more. I think each set-piece, each corner was very dangerous. I’m happy with the total performance of the players.

“We have made another step and that’s the difference between last week and this game. That’s good."

West Ham's busy pre-season continued as Dimitri Payet scored twice in an entertaining game at Roots Hall.

Payet scored an unstoppable free kick and a good finish into the corner to give the Hammers a win just 48 hours after their Europa League tie in midweek.

Southend had taken the lead thanks to Kevan Hurst whilst Anthony Wordsworth equalised before half time after Payet's brace

An own goal though in the second half proved to be the final action as West Ham won again.
