Southampton head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl urged his players to focus on the job in hand in the Premier League, following their exit from the FA Cup.
The Saints lost 5-3 on penalties in a third-round replay against Derby County on Wednesday evening, with the top-flight outfit letting slip a two-goal lead during the game, just as they had done in the original tie in the East Midlands.
We have to concentrate on the Premier League now.

That left Hasenshuttl frustrated that his team had been unable to see the game out, while also warning that focus and concentration will need to be much improved on Saturday, when Everton are the visitors to St Mary's.
He told the Daily Echo: "It's a nightmare I think because we had again a big chance to be in the next round and gave it away.
"If you have two times a chance to win and don't do it then you don't deserve to be in the next round, so congratulations to Derby County.
"We have to concentrate on the Premier League now.
"We have to take time to recover very well, because on Saturday we have an important game here at home against Everton. We should be more concentrated in this game than we were here."
Southampton are currently just one point clear of the relegation places, having moved out of the bottom three thanks to a fine 2-1 win at Leicester City last time out.
The Saints are available at 8/1 to be relegated this season, while they are 1/12 to beat the drop.
