Southampton boss Hasenhuttl: Walcott better for run

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl says Theo Walcott will be better for his performance in their 3-3 draw with Chelsea.

Hasenhuttl is counting on big things from their summer signing.

He said, "It is different, the way we play, but he showed he helps us. Has chances to score, final shot not perfect but I'm happy he is here."

The manager continued: "We saw a very interesting game, spectacular, with a lot of goal chances.

"Not so good in the first half from my side. We did not have much time to prepare for this game, but in the second half we were much better.

"We were dominant, had a lot of possession and showed good game management.

"The goals we conceded were too easy, we know the quality and speed of Werner and Havertz.

"But we never stopped believing, made the equaliser and I think the point is deserved.

"We are trying to develop every part of our game. Good stuff in possession, good game plan and fantastic to get this point against a very strong side."
