Koeman laughs off Southampton title talk

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman admits Europe is a target after their 1-0 win at Hull City.

A wonder goal from Victor Wanyama was enough to Saints to earn the three points.

The buoyant away fans were chanting about a title challenge at the final whistle but while Koeman sees that as a fanciful notion, he does not feel Europe is beyond his side.

Asked if he could deliver the title push the supporters half-jokingly sang about, the Dutchman said: "That's always positive but that's not what will happen.

"But to continue winning and being up in the table, why not?

"Expectations are high but I like that because we would like to win something.

"Football players like to win games and if you win games, you will have good possibilities.

"Maybe to play in Europe, you never know. Everybody knows we have to work hard every day and they players are incredible in the way they are acting together.

"If we keep like this, it can be a fantastic season."
