Southampton goalscorer Jay Rodriguez was delighted with victory at Reading.

The win lifts Southampton seven points clear of the drop zone, while Reading are seven points adrift of safety at the foot of the table.

"It's massive," Rodriguez told Sky Sports. "Every game we're coming to now is a big game and we just need to carry on working hard and improving to the end of the season.

"Reading put us under pressure and played really well but the timing of our goal was brilliant for us. It kicked us on."
