Southampton boss Koeman urges fans not to get carried away

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has urged caution from fans after their flying season start.

Koeman succeeded Mauricio Pochettino in the summer and had to rebuild the playing squad following the departures of several high-profile players.

"The start is fantastic for us and it's nice for the fans and for everybody who loves the Saints," he said.

"But as the manager, as the technical staff, we have to keep quiet and keep continuing what we are doing until now.

"It's a great start in the league and maybe nobody did expect it, but we believe in our ambition and spirit.

"Sometimes you have to be a little bit lucky to stay in that place in the table but it's not easy, we have to keep fighting every day for the results."
