Southampton held 0-0 by West Ham in Premier League
Posted December 29, 2020 6:00 am
SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) - Southampton recorded its second successive 0-0 draw in a cagey match against West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Southampton was without manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, who is in self-isolation after a member of his household tested positive for COVID-19.
West Ham manager David Moyes brought on Said Benrahma, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio in the second half in an attempt to find a way through the home defense, but despite some late pressure they were unable to make the breakthrough.
The result leaves the Saints in ninth but level on points with fifth-placed Aston Villa. West Ham is three points behind in 10th.
