Russell Martin described the mistakes which are costing Southampton dear this season as “madness” after his side slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

The key moment came in the 24th minute when Diego Carlos’ long ball forward caused confusion between Nathan Wood and Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jhon Duran seized possession and lifted a calm finish over Joe Lumley.
