Mauricio Pochettino was left ruing two mistakes that cost his team a hurtful home defeat against bottom of the table QPR.
The Saints boss won’t have found much reason for cheer on his birthday as his side slipped to a 2-1 loss with goals from Loic Remy and Jay Bothroyd cancelling out the effort from Gaston Ramirez.
It meant a winning return to St Mary’s for Harry Redknapp and after the game Pochettino was clearly frustrated.
“We basically made two mistakes that led to conceding two goals,” he said.
“We put in an effort big enough to manage a better result but they had three chances and scored twice and we weren’t able to score more than them.
“Perhaps we didn’t create enough chances but we did have more chances than they did.”
