Southampton manager Claude Puel felt Manolo Gabbiadini had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside in the Saints' 3-2 loss to Manchester United in the EFL Cup final on Sunday. Gabbiadini's brace had Southampton dreaming as strikes by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jesse Lingard were cancelled out -- but Ibrahimovic headed home three minutes time to clinch a hard-fought win. However Saints striker had a goal waved off when the game was goalless and Puel believes his side's performance merited more. "The first goal of Gabbiadini, It was a good goal and he scored three good goals this afternoon,'' Puel said. "I think it should have stood.'' The Frenchman added: "It's a lot of disappointment of course. We played a very good game and I hope we can continue on this level. "I'm proud of my players because we played very well, with many chances. "I think perhaps we deserved better -- it's football and congratulations for Manchester, for Mourinho, for his players. "The memories are always for the winner.''
