Southampton legend Terry Paine hailed last week's victory at Chelsea as the best under Ronald Koeman.
Saints won 3-1 ahead of international week.
“I think it was as good a team performance as I have seen since Ronald Koeman came into the job," said honorary Saints president Paine.
“Individually, every player was on song, and every player seemed to know what his job was.
“The tactics were absolutely spot on as well. The diagonal ball they used right into the heart of the Chelsea defence was always going to cause them problems, and the midfield buzzing around caused all sorts of issues.
“I think Chelsea got off a little bit light. It was a thoroughly deserved win, and if it had come in four or five I don't think they could have complained."
