Kevin Danso played just 45 minutes in the defeat to Bournemouth on Friday night – and some Southampton fans on Twitter ripped into the defender his performance.

The Saints were beaten 3-1 at St Mary’s by Bournemouth in the Premier League and it means they have dropped down to 11th in the table.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team were blown away by their opponents in the first-half, who scored through Nathan Ake and Harry Wilson.

Southampton got back into the contest in the second period with James Ward-Prowse’s penalty and pushed for another, but Callum Wilson added a third for the visitors in stoppage time.

Danso had a night to forget, as he started against Bournemouth and was substituted off at half-time by the manager.

The 21-year-old started in the right-back slot and was caught out of position several times, including for a Josh King goal that was fortunate ruled out by VAR.

He was out jumped from a corner by Ake for his goal and it’s never a good sign when a player lasts just 45 minutes.

Danso only moved to Southampton in the summer and so far he’s proven that he struggles at full-back.

The young Austrian spent most of last season at centre-back for Augsburg and that certainly looks like his favoured position.

A selection of Southampton supporters on social media were fuming with Danso for his latest performance.
