Southampton boss Tonda Eckert said that his side "deserved more" from their draw with Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
The Saints went a goal up after Leo Scienza ran through on goal and slotted home, but late in the second half they conceded from a set-piece as Ebou Adams headed Pompey level.
Eckert said after the game that his side could have come away with all three points.
"I think that the chances were quite clearly on our side, especially in the first half," he said.
"And then when we do go up in the second half, we just need to make sure that we bring the game over the line. I think we deserved more.
"The 15 minutes after the first goal, we were clearly on top and you need to use those moments to score a second goal, and if you don't, you need to make sure you see a game out.
"It's a good corner, a scramble in the middle, and we need to just deal better with those situations.
"It's a non-negotiable that we have to leave everything on the pitch and we did this to a 100%."
