Southampton star Nathan Redmond believes that the success over Liverpool in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final could provide much-needed momentum for the Saints.

Prior to their success over the Reds, the Saints had lost three on the trot in the Premier League and drew their FA Cup tie with Norwich City on the weekend.

"We've got the bit between our teeth again because we know we've been through a rough patch," Redmond, who scored the only goal of the contest, told Southamptonfc.com.

"No-one has been working as hard as us to try and put that right.

"Hopefully this win can give us some momentum going forward."
