Southampton fan @SaintsWarfield said: "Superb resilience today. The passion we wanted all season. To a man they put in a shift! Up the Saints! P. S. Ruben Dias I know you have bagged Maya Jama but.....you team couldn't bag today to save their lives. Cry more."
@RicoLewis_ERA claimed: "This guy cries too much. He's not captain material."
