Bree has 'mixed emotions'

Southampton star James Bree was left with mixed emotions after knocking out Stocke City 3-2 in the Carabao Cup.

He said: "I think obviously I'm buzzing, buzzing to get another goal.

"And then to get the win on the board. But I think a little bit frustrated as well, I think all the boys are a bit frustrated with how the game turned out.

"We were so dominant for the first 40 minutes and then we let a sloppy goal in. Then we came out again [after the break] playing well but obviously let them back into it.

"We know that we're better that but, like I said, a win's a win at the end of the day so we'll go onto the weekend and see what happens.

"I think [the win] is good for confidence, obviously the performance at [Manchester] City at the weekend was really good. The result obviously wasn't what we wanted but we played really well, caused some problems. So I think the lads were confident going into this game.

"Obviously not quite the performance in the end but the result was definitley what I wanted so we can take that forward and hopefully build on that."

“We started with (Ian) Maatsen and Kosta (Nedeljkovic). We started with (Boubacar) Kamara, with John McGinn, Leon Bailey, Jaden Philogene, Jhon Duran, (Emiliano) Buendia, I don’t know if I can have some regret.

“We are with our way, building the team, building the structure.
