Despite taking the lead twice, Bristol City were forced to settle for a point at Southampton [Getty Images] Bristol City boss Roy Hodgson said that the performance in their 2-2 draw with Southampton was their best since he arrived at the club. Ryan Manning's own goal opened the scoring for the visitors, Sam Bell also headed the Robins in front after the hour but Saints managed to level the game on two occasions. Hodgson admitted that he was delighted with his side's performance on the night.
"I enjoyed watching it and I enjoyed our performance, the players should be very proud of their performance," he said after the game. "We created more clear cut chances throughout the game and had a lot of the ball, I'm very happy with the point but on another day I think we could have had all three. "For me it was the best performance of my short time at the club and I hope that the team have two more performances like that in them so we can get some results in the final games.
"Today was one of those games where you'd be hard pushed to criticise anybody. " Bristol City are back in Championship action on Saturday when they travel away to Birmingham City.
