Sadio Mane's equaliser made it just one win in nine home matches for Roberto Martinez's Everton
The draw made it just one win in Everton’s last nine Premier League matches at Goodison Park with the club suffering their worst ever home league record.
Everton have also conceded 29 goals in front of their fed-up fans who have also witnessed eight defeats.
Saints boss Ronald Koeman, who revealed his skipper Jose Fonte had been rushed to hospital with a head injury, was dejected by the point, and said: “It was a lack of clinical finishing. We need to score more goals away from home.”
The big question remained: why was the game not played at a higher level? The hosts were playing for places ahead of the midweek Merseyside derby and FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United.
And Southampton arrived with the dream of a finish in the top four but still lacked the required adventure.
MAN OF THE MATCH: FUNES MORI – stood up to some ferocious attacking play and was clinical in his finishing to score his fifth goal of the season.
