Southampton frustrated at home by Bolton

Report and free match highlights from the Sky Bet Championship match between Southampton and Bolton Wanderers at St Mary's on Saturday; Saints frustrated at home by resilient Trotters as Tonda Eckert’s side are left frustrated.

James Bree, Lewis Dobbin and Leo Scienza all squandered chances as Southampton dropped points at home for the first time this season with a 0-0 draw against Bolton.

The trio all wasted tap-ins, while Saints were also left bereft by a penalty not being given for a Ruben Rodrigues handball.

Bolton, on the back of away wins at Wolves and Norwich, could have claimed the three points themselves through Sam Dalby or Rodrigues.

But they made it 11 matches, spread over 25 years, without tasting defeat against Southampton, who have not lost at St Mary's for 18 games.

Bolton held a disciplined high line which frustrated the hosts' attacking attempts, with seven offsides called against Saints in the first half.

They only got into the Trotters' box three times despite dominating possession, but the first occasion saw Leo Scienza squander a golden chance.

James Bree produced a perfect cutback for Scienza, but the Brazilian could not keep his effort down.

The visitors' tight-knit defence refused to allow another such chance in the first half as Southampton were restricted to half-moments.

Scienza drilled a 30-yard shot straight at former Saints goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu while Larin could not quite get a touch on Scienza's in-swinging cross before the Canadian poked over via a deflection.
