Speaking to Sky Sports, via the BBC, he said, “We had problems with Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jack Stephens.
“Today I have to say Joe Aribo was exceptional, he played at left centre-back and he played an incredible game.”
Southampton’s defensive woes continued as Harwood-Bellis was substituted off the pitch due to an injury, and Jack Stephens had to leave the pitch ten minutes later.

Despite being out of position in midfield, Aribo adjusted admirably and helped Southampton hold off Ipswich’s push in the second half.
