Southampton striker Graziano Pelle still believes they can finish in the top four.

Pelle found the net for the first time in FIFTEEN games during last weekend's 2-0 win over struggling Hull.

He said: "I got really happy after I scored the goal because the stadium was waiting so much for the moment. It was a release for everybody.

"It was really nice, especially for the fans who never stopped believing in me.

"In the games where I did not score I hit the post maybe eight times.

"That helped me understand I was still getting chances and to have faith in what I was doing.

"It is a long, tough season and not always easy. I have to take this season in a good way and improve for the next one.

"As a striker I have to work hard for the team and am double happy when I score. I feel good and hope it will be a nice ending to the season."
