Ralph Hasenhuttl feels there has been progress at Southampton since he replaced Mark Hughes.

The Austrian guided Saints to safety last season but now finds his team in 19th position.

"I think that points are the same at the moment, but we have three more games until December 6, so it's still a way to go to get more points than when I was coming here," Hasenhuttl said.

"The situation is a little bit different to then, I think we are now working for one year together and we know what we have to do."

Hasenhuttl added: "It has not been an easy season so far, we had a difficult start, but there is a lot of belief in what we are doing and this gives us the energy to get points as soon as possible."
