The West Bromwich Albion coach patted his forehead and shook his head. He felt helpless with Southampton's goal. It was Ridgewell's fault for failing to guard Freddy well, but McAurey also failed to keep Kazuki. However, this was only a manifestation of the difference in the quality of Southampton and West Brom players. Kazuki definitely a top striker, despite Freddy's up and down performance but he had always been Southampton's mainstay on the right side.
West Brom restarted the game. They did the kick-off after Kazuki and his friends finished the celebration. After the game started again, West Brom tried to build-up attacks. But the pressure exerted by Southampton, made the West Brom players uncomfortable in building attacks.
