Southampton boss Koeman hails 2-goal Schneiderlin

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman hailed two-goal Morgan Schneiderlin after their 3-1 win at West Ham United.

The Hammers had led through Mark Noble's deflected effort, but France midfielder Schneiderlin levelled on the stroke of half-time, curling home after his initial shot was blocked by Joey O'Brien.

It was Schneiderlin again who put Koeman's side ahead in the second half, with Graziano Pelle's maiden Premier League goal rounding off a fine away day for Southampton.

Koeman said: "I am very pleased with his attitude over the last few weeks.

"He accepts the situation the way it is. If he didn't accept it he wouldn't reach the level that he did today.

"I understand his situation. If a player gets an offer from a big club I understand that but he is happy now and he accepts the situation - he is a fantastic player."
