Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, on the floor, thwarts Southampton’s Danny Ings during the 1-0 win at Selhurst Park (Alastair Grant/PA)Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu accepts Saints will have to create more chances for the likes of Danny Ings after they suffered an opening-day defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday. The visitors dictated possession at Selhurst Park and yet failed to test home goalkeeper Vicente Guaita in the first half. Romeu told the official club website: “We would’ve deserved something if we had taken our chances, but we didn’t, so that’s something we have to get better at. Everyone put a shift in and the goalkeeper made some saves at the important times.”Meanwhile, forward Alexander Sorloth looks to have played his last game for Crystal Palace, the PA news agency understands. The Norwegian joined Trabzonspor on a two-year loan deal last summer and enjoyed an excellent debut season in the Super Lig.
