Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl to BBC Sport:
“My team did a fantastic job today, from the first moment you could feel that the plan was working and the
guys were sticking to it. It was one of the best first halves so far for us.
“I was always convinced that Che Adams’ time would come, sometimes it takes a long time to adapt to this
level but he was always learning and working hard and he gets what he deserves now.
“We did not talk once this week about losing 9-0 [a year ago today], that is a topic for you guys,
but it was important what we did after that defeat. Now we don’t even think about it anymore, I don’t care.”
