Ralph Hasenhuttl Hails Southampton's Second-Half Display to Record 2-1 Win Over Tottenham

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl was delighted by his side's much-improved second-half display as they recorded a 2-1 win over Tottenham.

Harry Kane gave Spurs the lead midway through the first half, before a Yan Valery strike and stunning James Ward-Prowse free kick in the final 15 minutes of the game handed the Saints a shock win.

Speaking after the game, Hasenhuttl admitted Southampton were fortunate to be only one goal behind at half time, but revealed he was pleased with the reaction of his side following the interval.

As quoted by Sky Sports, he said: "The good thing was we were only one goal down, that gave us the chance to change a few things and to force a little nervousness and put them out of their comfort zone because Tottenham were amazing [in the first half].
