Basic errors cost Saints again at the weekend as they threw away a winning position and left Craven Cottage with nothing.

Here are how the players rated:

Alex McCarthy 6

Made a great save to deny Aleksandar Mitrovic a hat-trick.

Cedric Soares 5

Given a torrid time from Ryan Sessegnon in the build-up to Fulham’s second goal.

Maya Yoshida 5

Bullied by Mitrovic throughout.

Wesley Hoedt 4

At fault for two of Fulham’s goals, especially their winner. What was he thinking?

Not a happy return to Craven Cottage.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 6

Not at his best and gave the ball away on a few occasions.

Mario Lemina 6

Not at the same level he was at against Watford and should have scored.

Stuart Armstrong 9

Daily Echo:

Quiet by the winger’s own standards.

Charlie Austin 4

Charlie Austin

Ineffective and don’t remember him having a shot.
