Ralph Hasenhuttl insists his goal-shy Southampton side must be more ruthless against Newcastle... and hints he may turn to Sekou Mara to solve his scoring issues

Ralph Hasenhuttl has challenged his goal-shy Southampton team to be more ruthless when they come up against the Premier League's meanest defence on Sunday.

Saints have scored just four times in their last eight games ahead of the visit of a Newcastle side who have conceded fewer goals than any other team this season.

Manager Hasenhuttl said 'When one goal is enough to win against us, it's not what we can live with. Clean sheets help massively but I do not think defending has been the issue in the last games.
