Sofiane Boufal has revealed Ralph Hasenhuttl's half-time talk spurred Southampton onto victory over Fulham in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

Saints advanced to the competition's third-round thanks to Michael Obafemi's second-half strike.

"To be more aggressive and press higher when we don't have the ball," Boufal said.

"We feel we can do something when we press high. We recovered a lot of balls in this part of the pitch and we were very dangerous. We could've scored more goals.

"It was a very difficult win against a very good opponent, but the most important is the qualification.

"We were very good without the ball, we pressed well and we scored a beautiful goal from Mikey with good work from Nathan."
