Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl heaped praise on Saints after toppling Premier League leaders Everton and The Austrian boss described as “one of our best performances so far” his team’s commanding 2-0 victory over the 10-man Toffees at St Mary’s. First-half goals from James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams wrapped up all three points for the hosts. Everton were left a man light after Lucas Digne was dismissed for a nasty challenge on Kyle Walker-Peters in the second half.
Ralph Hasenhuttl said “This was a step forward. One of our best performances so far against a strong side. Being one man more, I think it was good that we had good game management, good balance. It wasn’t important to score again or create chances – it was more important to keep the ball and let the opponent run. I think we did that in a fantastic way. This was a step forward. In the last games we also showed in possession a good improvement – massive steps forward and this is necessary to become a better side. After our not so good start, it was necessary to pick up a few (points). We will keep on working and keep on being focused. I think what I like in my team at the moment is that it seems we have definitely taken some big steps forward. But the biggest mistakes you make when you are successful – keep on being focused and keep on working hard.”
