Its a telling weekend for Claude Puels Southampton as the Saints head into Sundays clash with Middlesbrough at St. Marys Stadium in need of a positive reaction after the events that unfolded this week.Puels club, which it can be argued, is in the greatest period of prosperity in team history, was knocked back a peg Thursday when they were bounced from the Europa League following a 1-1 draw with Israels Hapoel Beer Sheva at home in their final group stage match. Maor Buzaglo opened the scoring with 11 minutes to play before Virgil Van Dijk found the late equaliser, but the damage had already been done as the draw dumped the Saints out of Europa.Van Dijk, for his part, didnt mince words when asked for his post-match thoughts.Im very disappointed -- I feel (bad) to be honest with you, said Van Dijk. We need to do much better, especially in the first half. We knew how they were going to play -- we needed to do much better especially with chances we had, and every time they broke on us it was a bit dangerous.We needed to get our organisation right instead of always attacking. Thats something we need to talk about. We just need to focus on the league the most now. The EFL Cup is special, but with the current group we can do something beautiful in the league. But we need to be clinical and not concede stupid goals like we did.The Saints (4-5-5) must now quickly focus their attention on Middlesbrough, as a win in front of the home fans will wipe away some of the disappointment from the European exit.Its important to look forward and come back with a good spirit and come back in the first half of the table and keep the good concentration for the next game in the Premier League, Puel said. Its an opportunity to play quickly. Its a good thing to have this game on Sunday and to have a good reaction.The clubs league form is a bit of an issue as well, coming off a 3-0 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace. But a win can take them as high as eighth place, depending on other results.Middlesbrough (3-6-5), for their part, enter the contest unbeaten in five of their last six league matches. Theyll aim for a second consecutive victory following last weeks 1-0 result over Hull City, thanks to a 60th-minute strike from Gaston Ramirez.(Mondays win) was massive for us, midfielder Adam Forshaw said. For us to get the win, and to play as well as we did at times was a real confidence-booster.The Teeside club will be a bit shorthanded for Sunday as Alvaro Negredo, Ramirez and Jordan Rhodes are all doubts, while George Friend will miss this fixture.Alvaro, Gaston and Jordan couldnt train with the team (Friday), manager Aitor Karanka said. I need to check (Saturday) with the doctors. The main thing for me is the players who are ready to play are ready to take that chance.George it taking steps, and hopefully tomorrow he will train with us, as its not a hard session.Southampton will also be missing a key piece as forward Charlie Austin is unavailable after being subbed off in the first half of Thursdays match.We will see later what the full answer is and how long he will be out for, Puel said. Its a disappointment for him, because he has had a good first part of the season, but its important for the team to have a good answer. We will see the quality of other players.

NEW YORK -- There was a time when the Toronto Blue Jays could never win at Yankee Stadium.Times have changed and now it is the New York Yankees who rarely win home games against the Blue Jays.The AL East rivals will begin a three-game series that will be significant for different reasons Monday afternoon.From Sept 19, 2012 through July 25, 2014, the Yankees won 17 straight meetings in New York and outscored the Blue Jays 89-46. Since the skid, Toronto has won 14 of the last 21 meetings in New York but since the start of last season when Josh Donaldson and Russell Martin joined the team, the Blue Jays have won 11 of the 15 meetings in New York.Donaldson and Martin have had varying degrees of success in those games but enter Monday on hot streaks. Donaldson is 12-for-64 (.188) in New York over the last two seasons but is batting .347 (17-for-49) over his last 13 games, although he had a 12-game hitting streak snapped during Sundays 5-3 win at Tampa Bay.Martin, who spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons in New York, is batting .298 (14-for-47) with six home runs and 18 RBI at Yankee Stadium as a Blue Jay. He also is batting .338 (23-for-68) with nine home runs and 24 RBI in his last 18 games after hitting a tiebreaking two-run home run in the eighth inning Sunday.Martins home run on a 3-0 count ended a streak of 27 innings without a home run for Toronto but more importantly helped the Blue Jays take a one-game lead over the Red Sox.We kind of smelled the win, said bench coach DeMarlo Hale, who took over when manager John Gibbons was ejected in the fourth during a Martin at-bat. The dugout got a little emotional. We had the bullpen set up. The guys in the middle did their job to get the ball to (Joaquin) Benoit, (Jason) Grilli and Osuna. Its a good effort by this team, and hopefully we can carry it into New York.Toronto has held a share of the division lead every day since Aug. 16 which was the same day it stormed back from a five-run deficit for a 12-6 victory in New York following a 42-minute rain delay.Since scoring 19 runs in their last two games at New York, the Blue Jays have won eight of their last 15 games and have split the first six games of their nine-game trip which leads into next weekends three-game series with Boston.The Yankees were in first place when the teams met last August but shortly after Torontos sweep fell out.dddddddddddd They have been chasing deficits in the standings ever since.New York is in fourth place at 6 1/2 games out in the division. In the crowded wild card race, the Yankees are 3 1/2 games behind Baltimore.The Yankees (70-65) began this weekend with a chance to get into the lead with a sweep but dropped two of three with shutout losses. New York rebounded with a 5-2 victory Sunday when Chase Headley and Austin Romine drove in two runs apiece.You cant afford to lose three in a row to these guys, manager Joe Girardi said. We know they play really well in this building. We lost a tough one last night. To be able to bounce back today is important. It keeps us alive.Monday will start a 10-game homestand for the Yankees. New York has four with Tampa Bay and three with the Los Angeles before going on an 11-game trip that features four-game series in Toronto and Boston.This was a big win. We needed it, Romine said. We just need to keep the rhythm moving into the next game and see if we can get on a roll.R.A. Dickey has been on the mound for Torontos two losses in New York this season but run support has been the issue. The Blue Jays were shut out in both games on May 24 and Aug. 15 while Dickey allowed five runs and nine hits in 11 2/3 innings.The Blue Jays have scored 16 times in his last two starts and Dickey has allowed seven runs and 12 hits over 12 2/3 innings. Dickey did not get a decision Aug. 28 when he threw 64 pitches in six innings and the Blue Jays rallied for a 9-6 victory over Minnesota.Dickey is 7-6 with an 2.72 ERA (36 ER, 119 IP) in 22 appearances against the Yankees.The Yankees will send out their best starting option when Masahiro Tanaka starts and puts his five-game unbeaten streak on the line. Tanaka is 11-4 with a 3.12 ERA this season and since a 7-1 loss to the New York Mets on Aug. 2 he is 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA.The right-hander did not face the Blue Jays in the last series but is 5-3 with an 2.28 ERA in nine career starts.Tanaka will also be pitching on five days rest and he has done better with extended rest, going 8-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 15 starts.
