Andy Carroll scored a deflected free-kick to earn West Ham United a 1-1 draw against Southampton at St Mary's.
After the game, Allardyce said he felt the result took him a step closer to earning a renewal of his current contract at West Ham, which expires in the summer. He said: "It is closer. Hopefully we can get it tied up soon so we can get on with pre-season work. When it is all tied up, we want to put pen to paper as soon as we can. "I will have a chat with the owner. Let us just get this season over and done with." Pochettino, meanwhile, was frustrated by the draw but happy with his players' performance after several of them had been affected by a virus in the build-up. "We are a bit disappointed," he said. "We had the feeling we could win the game, but we weren't able to. "I am very happy, especially because during the week we had problems with a virus that meant the players were not able to train properly."
