Ralph Hasenhuttl optimistic that Southampton can beat the drop

Ralph Hasenhuttl says Southampton's players want to 'jump on the train because it's leaving the station' after the club climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone.

Hasenhuttl enjoyed a dream home debut as Saints manager with Sunday's surprise 3-2 win over Arsenal.

The Austrian believes the overdue victory, which ended a 14-game winless run, has given the struggling club a major morale boost and left his players itching to be involved.
