'It was the wind!' - Hasenhuttl explains post-match tears following Southampton's 'perfect' victory over Liverpool

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admitted that there were tears in his eyes following his side's 1-0 triumph over Liverpool as the Austrian manager joked said tears were caused by the wind, not his team's emotional victory.

Hasenhuttl's Saints took down the Premier League champions on Monday, with an early goal from Danny Ings proving just enough to upset a sloppy Reds team.

Liverpool were held without a shot on target until the 75th minute as Southampton stood tall against Jurgen Klopp's side.
