VIDEO: Pochettino: Saints showed great resilience after conceding unlucky goal
SOUTHAMPTON manager Mauricio Pochettino has praised his side's resilience to equalise after conceding a freak goal from Stoke 'keeper Asmir Begovic.
Begovic managed to score within the first minute after a gust of wind took his clearance past the Saints stopper Artur Boruc.
But the Argentine manager thought his side played well to get the equalising goal, and said: "As a manager that is the first time i've ever had to experience that lucky moment.
"But I would like to highlight the fact my team played very well, even after conceding the very unlucky goal. To come back we showed resilience, we showed a lot of character and we were able to develop how we wanted to play.
"I would like to congratulate my team, from the goalkeeper to the striker, because I thought they all did really well today."
