Stuart Armstrong believes Southampton's 9-0 loss to Leicester City was a turning point for their season.

Saints have won five wins in 11 games since that defeat, lifting them out of the relegation to 12th.

"I think everyone knows what happened, everyone saw the result. For us as a team it was about 'how can we learn from it and move on?'," Armstrong told Sky Sports.

"Since that game we've had a lot of good performances and, more importantly, [picked up] a lot of points.

"I think in football, it is such an unpredictable sport, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It's not the first time the players have lost a game but I think it's all about the reaction.

"The way we are feeling at the moment, the good run of form that we are in, it's something that we all want to continue. The game at the weekend against Leicester is an opportunity to make amends.

"I think we dealt with it. What people have seen with our results since has been quite promising. We've gained a few positions in the league and picked up points - we are very happy with our reaction.

"If you dwelled on every mistake you made you would be a terrible football player. The game at the weekend will of course provide us with the opportunity to deal with our mistakes and do better."
