Southampton edged closer to the European places with a comfortable Premier League win over relegation-threatened Norwich at St Mary's.

Che Adams scored the opening goal of the game for the hosts, flicking the ball past Canaries goalkeeper Angus Gunn after Tino Livramento's cross had ricocheted around the six-yard box.

Oriol Romeu's sublime late volley wrapped up the points for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side.

Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl said afterwards: "These are the toughest wins. We had massive chances and we had a lot of shots on target.

"Oriol tries this sometimes from outside the box and it was an important goal for us.

"Kyle Walker-Peters enjoys it on the left side. It shows his intelligence, the qualities he has and he's super hard to defend against with his low centre of gravity. This is the quality we have now."

On targets this season, he added: "There's still a long way to go but everyone feels it now. When you see the reaction of the fans there was not one moment when people weren't believing we could win. That is a new feeling here I think."
