Southampton manager Ronald Koeman was upset with midfielder Victor Wanyama for his tackle that led to his red card in the 1-0 win against West Ham. Rougned Odor Jersey . Maya Yoshida gave Koemans men a ninth minute lead and they held on for all three points despite playing for most of the second half following Wanyamas straight red for a reckless lunge on Dimitri Payet.Wanyama has now been sent off three times this season, including for a similar incident during Southamptons 1-0 defeat at Norwich last month. Jamie Redknapp described Wanyama’s challenge on Payet as reckless and felt that the red card was justified Thats too much, Koeman told Sky Sports. We already mentioned after the Norwich game, you cant make that tackle on that place of the pitch.Its the same for this situation. Its a hard tackle and you give the referee the possibility to give you a red card.Despite the sending off, Koeman was satisfied with his sides performance, particularly praising his defence. Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster was pleased to earn his fifth consecutive clean sheet Im very pleased with the final result, the Dutchman said. It was a difficult game from the start but more difficult after the red card of Wanyama.But I think we defended fantastic and even with one less on the pitch we had the best chances to score the second goal.Koeman also took the time to single out the recent performances of Fraser Forster and said it was no coincidence the England goalkeepers return has coincided with an upturn in Southamptons fortunes. Fraser Forster produced a sterling performance for the Saints We had that also last season. Hes a fantastic goalkeeper, Koeman added.Hes so quiet but gives a lot of confidence to the defenders. Its not a coincidence that when he is back weve started keeping clean sheets.Its not a criticism to Maarten Stekelenburg or to the rest of the goalkeepers but sometimes you have one behind who has a little bit more luck in his life.He came after a big injury but hes demonstrating how good he is as a goalkeeper.Southampton are now up to seventh just two points behind West Ham following victory over Slaven Bilics side and Koeman is confident his side can enjoy a good end to the season. Southampton celebrate the only goal of the game Our ambition is always to try to do it better than last season, he said. Thats very difficult because to end last season in seventh position was fantastic.But we have good players, we have a good team we have a really good belief at the moment and a lot of confidence. Were looking forward to the rest of the season and if Leicester can be the first, maybe Southampton can be the sixth.

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles. http:///...mond-rangers-jersey/ .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J.Dundee United boss Mixu Paatelainen reckons it would be a senseless decision if he was dismissed following the clubs relegation. A campaign steeped in misery was capped for the suffering United fans when Dundee came from behind to win 2-1 in Mondays derby match at Dens Park.Edward Ofere had given the visitors the lead before Kostadin Gadzhalovs equaliser, and Uniteds fate was sealed in stoppage-time when Craig Wighton netted the winner. Paatelainen replaced Jackie McNamara at Tannadice in October but his appointment did not produce the spark the stagnant squad required.The Finn repeatedly questioned the character of the players he inherited but of the five signings Paatelainen made, only goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima was in the line-up that lost to Dundee.Although Paatelainen accepts his position is now in doubt, he insisted he is the man to lead United out of next seasons Championship. Dundee United suffered relegation to the Scottish Championship He said: We have been here a few months now, working with this team and for the club. Weve got the necessary knowledge of what has to be done.To be honest, we did identify early on the things that needed to be done. The knowledge is there, the plan is there. Not only player-wise but also off the field, football related. I think only a fool would put that to waste, the knowledge that we have.After registering just five league wins since taking over, United are staring at their first campaign outside of the top division in 20 years.When asked if he had considered walking away, Paatelainen said: No. I dont give up. We came here this season. The ship was sinking already. We tried to tackle those problems personnel-wise. The January window is difficult and we have improved, just not enough Dundee United scorer Edward Ofere (l) and Mark Durnan at full-time Mistakes keep creeping in and we simply cant afford to have that. Joey Gallo Rangers Jersey. That is why we need a totally new angle on things. I am desperate to do that, I love working hard, I dont count hours, I dont have days off.Look at the support today... it has been a miserable season for us and the supporters have been there for us every day. Tonight we gave them a little bit, though not enough to put up with their suffering.I think the players attitude towards work is excellent, they are honest boys, they try their best, it just isnt good enough. There is softness, slackness, they think someone else can track those players. It is a mentality thing. Dundees Paul McGowan (left) with Paul Dixon Paatelainen concedes it would be helpful if under-pressure chairman Stephen Thompson, whose own future is undecided after he announced he is looking for someone to buy the club from him, set him and the supporters straight on his plans for next season.I dont dictate what the chairman does, said the 49-year-old. I work for the club, for the team, and it is as simple as that.I have a contract and I work regardless of whether there is a statement out about my future. I dont mind speculation although I dont think it is healthy for the club, maybe that would help the situation but I dont advise the chairman. I dont expect him to do anything.
