Southampton captain Adam Lallana has paid tribute to manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine guided them to 14th last term, but they have made a stunning start to the new campaign and are currently sat in fourth spot.
"We've had a full pre-season under him to get his tactics and methods across," skipper Lallana told the Daily Echo.
"You're starting to see all the rewards of our hard work under the manager."
