Southampton boss Hasenhuttl happy for Ward-Prowse over landmark game

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is delighted for skipper James Ward-Prowse as he reaches 200 games.

Saints go to Liverpool on Saturday.

Hasenhutt said, "First of all, congratulations to him; 200 is quite massive.

"It took a while when I arrived for him to become part of the first XI. I spoke clearly with him about what I demanded, and he showed it quickly. You have seen the progress he's made in the last two or three years.

"What I like about this player is that when you criticise him, he is very quick to improve. He is open-minded and willing to learn."
