Southampton boss Hasenhuttl pleased thumping Swansea

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was delighted with their friendly win against Swansea City.

Saints followed up Tuesday's 4-0 win at Cardiff with another comfortable victory, this time 3-1 over Swansea, with Nathan Tella, Nathan Redmond and Stuart Armstrong all on target inside the first 60 minutes.

"It was a good game, I think, and we scored three good goals," he said. “It's a pity that we conceded one. It was a mistake from Sali, but okay.

“We are in pre-season and I must say that we are physically in good condition. The last freshness was not there, but overall it was a good performance.

“We dropped the speed a little bit in the last 30 minutes. We had a few good chances, yes, but I hope that we can find the next gear and push them a little bit more.

“It was not enough for me, but after the week they've worked hard, and yesterday we didn't really respect the game today because we still worked hard, so it's okay."
