Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl insists Adam Armstrong will come good.
Armstrong started the first seven Premier League games of the season for the Saints after his £15million move from Blackburn, but has not added to his strike in the opening-day defeat to Everton.
“We know that the start of your first year in the Premier League will always be a tough one but he has had good games this season," Hasenhuttl said when asked about Armstrong.
“He is just missing that second goal with missed chances over a few games.
“I didn't expect more from him. Definitely not. I expected exactly what I have seen – that he is a player with potential, a player with some super skills that you definitely can use in every team and I'm sure that he will also be a very important player for our games in the future."
