Southampton boss Puel 'happy' for 2-goal Redmond

Southampton boss Claude Puel was delighted with two goal Nathan Redmond after their 4-3 win at Watford.

Redmond could be called up for England's matches with Germany and Lithuania this month and Puel believes he needs to add goals to his game.

"It was time. I'm happy for Nathan," Puel said.

"Nathan doesn't score a lot of goals and he has all the qualities for this.

"I hope these two goals give him confidence for the future.

"He can become a strong striker for the national team. For the moment it's important he continues his work and continues to make progress."

Troy Deeney had given Watford a fourth-minute lead with his 100th league goal for the club.

Manager Walter Mazzarri added: "It's a pleasure for Troy for sure and we're happy for him.

"Even he would've liked that his goal would've brought one point or three points for the team."
