Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has admitted he has a very good relationship with Nathan Redmond.

The Saints winger has been one of the best players since the Austrian took over.

Redmond notched two goals in a 3-1 win over Wolves at the weekend, making it his eighth of the season.

Hasenhuttl spoke about Redmond to reporters after the game and said: "I show him what we need in his position that he plays and show him that he can be the guy who makes the difference.

"He was waiting a long time for a goal but I know it was only a question of time until he scored again and then he was in the right place and very clinical and a good performance.

"It's a little bit of everything (motivating Redmond). Sometimes giving him a smooth shoulder and sometimes criticise him if I don't like what he's doing.

"We have a special relationship I think and he knows I demand a lot from him, not only if he has the ball but also if he works against the ball.

"He shows in every game he is learning and he's getting better."
