Southampton boss Hasenhuttl stunned by comeback: Hard to put it into words

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was proud of his players after victory at Leicester City.

Strikes from Stuart Armstrong and Danny Ings overturned Dennis Praet's early opener.

"It's hard to put it into words," the boss reflected. "To come back after one down against such a strong side and turn the table.

"We deserved to turn it because we had so many chances. It was a fantastic team performance again today.

"They left everything on the pitch. We were a little bit unlucky in the first half, with Ingsy hitting the bar twice.

"You could feel that we had the potential to win the game at half time. We had Ingsy in the right moment to score and finally I think it was a fantastic game.

"If you concede the first goal against a team who has previously scored nine against you, you have to be very mentally strong to respond.

"I had the feeling that we are in the moment. We prepared very well for this game and in the end we had more power.

"We never spoke about revenge during the week. It was more about giving ourselves an answer, for what happened on that night. I think we gave the right answer today."
