SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) - Southampton fans are a restive bunch these days, and the mood at St Mary's was lifted little by a controlling but ultimately impotent performance at home against Brighton on Wednesday.

That an equaliser salvaged a 1-1 Premier League draw, after conceding an early penalty, was scant consolation for fans furious that the club is sitting in the relegation zone despite having pocketed some 75 million pounds for the sale of Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool.
