Saints had arguably the best chance when Nathan Redmond was played clear early on only to fire inches wide.

But Town were more than worthy of a point and could have grabbed all three with Elias Kachunga and Steve Mounie both twice going close to breaking the deadlock.

Jonas Lossl, in keeping a third clean sheet in as many Premier League outings, kept Redmond out again late on before Tommy Smith kicked off the line from the same Saints man to earn the draw that nudges Town above Manchester United ahead of their own tea-time game against Leicester City.
