Southampton were beaten twice in the Audi quattro Cup at the Red Bull arena.<\/p>\n
First off they were beaten 1-0 in the semi finals courtesy of Pablo Piatti\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s solitary goal whilst they then lost the play off 2-0 to the hosts Red Bull Salzburg.<\/p>\n
Havard Nielsen and Dimitri Oberlin sealed victory for the Austrian hosts.<\/p>\n
Saints boss Ronald Koeman: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We were a little bit unlucky to go 1-0 down against Valencia. We had some good chances to score and two times we hit the bar. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s unlucky.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The second game there was less for us. They scored twice, and more sharpness what we expect from the players but we know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only the first week for most of them. We have to do more.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We start Monday the third week of pre-season, little by little the players will get more minutes and go more to the team.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Everton opened their pre-season with a comfortable win at League One side Swindon Town.<\/p>\n
Tom Cleverly was included in the Everton side for his debut and goals from Kevin Mirallis (2), Romelu Lukaku and Conor McAleny – all in the second half – were enough to give the Toffees an easy win.<\/p>\n
Roberto Martinez: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was a thoroughly satisfactory afternoon because the first situation where you play 11 against 11 for the first time is always a tough one.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done a lot of volume work at Finch Farm this week and it has been great to see the attitude of the players.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter who you are playing against, to get a clean sheet shows the concentration levels were very, very good and from a physical point of view, I thought it was a perfect workout.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

It was even easier for Norwich as they trounced Gorleston by seven goals.<\/p>\n
Former Cardiff striker Cameron Jerome was on target with a first half hat-trick as the Canaries found themselves five goals up at the break with Tony Andreu and Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe also on target<\/p>\n
Lewis Grabban and Jonny Howson both found the net in the second half as Norwich won the first of their seven pre-season games<\/p>\n
Alex Neil: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important that we came here and tried to put on a bit of a show. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We wanted to get the guys working hard and playing in the manner that they should when they play any game. I think you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen that in both halves with the two teams that we had out. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I thought it was a good, competitive game. They gave it their all and we worked really hard too. I thought we showed some good quality at times. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been working really hard over the course of pre-season so far, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in good shape and I thought you could see part of that today.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
