Southampton manager Ronald Koeman admitted his side let victory slip away as they were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea at St Marys on Saturday.Shane Long gave the hosts the lead in the 42nd minute with a cool chipped finish over Thibaut Courtois.But Chelsea controlled the game after the break and goals from Cesc Fabregas and Branislav Ivanovic saw them snatch victory. We did well but it was not good enough to the end and they punished us, Koeman told Sky Sports. We lost a bit of control in the second half and Chelsea had more possession.We were a bit unlucky because some situations were dangerous but not really clear chances to score. The first goal was not a shot, it was a cross that goes in, then they made it 2-1 from a set piece which is disappointing.Saints had seemed on course for victory after Longs goal and Fraser Forster had broken a club record for the longest time without conceding. Shane Long put Southampton ahead in the first half However, the hosts could not add to their advantage and eventually succumbed to their first defeat since January 2.To get the second goal you have to create chances and we lost the more ball in the second half, said Koeman. We didnt have that control in possession and it was different.We defended well but it wasnt good enough and they have good players, who play between lines and have good quality and control.While defeat dents Southamptons European hopes, Chelsea extend their unbeaten record under Guus Hiddink to 10 matches.They are playing at a bit of a higher level than they did at the start of the season, said Koeman. They are more confident and comfortable…but their position in the league is not normal for Chelsea.Also See:Southampton 1-2 ChelseaAs it happenedSouthampton fixturesGet a £10 free bet!Cheap Air Max 2018 .

The native of Humboldt, Sask., has 3,810 points to trail leader Ganna Melnichenko of Ukraine by just 102 points. Shes only 26 points behind American Sharon Day, who is third. Briesen was second after the first two events -- 100-metre hurdles and high jump. She won the 100 with a time of 13.17 second and was sixth in the high jump with a leap of 1.83 metres. Briesen fell to fourth overall after registering 732 points with a 13.07-metre effort in the shot put but accumulated 963 points after finishing the 200 in 24.18 seconds. Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands is second overall with 3,837 points. The final three events -- long jump, javelin and 800 -- are scheduled for Tuesday.

The first American, defending champion Carmelita Jeter, took bronze in 10.94. Like Usain Bolt, she now has two Olympic and two world titles in the 100.

The United States got its part of the glory, too, when David Oliver led a 1-2 finish in the 110 hurdles.
