"That's what you're credited on but look at the team we've got. We're always going to create chances so it's a dream!"

After guiding his side to victory at London Stadium, Southampton manager Claude Puel told saintsfc.co.uk: “We scored three good goals and we didn’t take a goal against us, which is always important. The defence and the attack is the work of all the team.

“All of the team defend and all of the players attack. If we respect this for the future, we can make something very good.”
