Dejan Lovren has played down his influence on Southampton's amazing season so far.
Lovren admits that he is proud of Southampton's start to the season.
"To concede just three goals in nine games in this league is very hard so we deserve the respect now from the others," he said.
"But it's the whole team, not just the four in defence and the goalkeeper.
"It's each player, we all work hard on the training ground. It's a pleasure to play every day with these players."
