Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has heaped praise on Danny Ings' form this season.

Ings has scored 21 goals this season in the Premier League and currently sits second in the race for the Golden Boot behind Leicester City frontman Jamie Vardy.

"It is definitely harder to score 20 goals for Southampton than for Liverpool or Manchester United or Chelsea or whoever," Hasenhuttl told Sky Sports.

"So it is definitely big praise for him that he did it for us - a club that was struggling in the relegation zone for a long time.

"That shows how good he is and how well he has done this season."
