Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was delighted with their 1-1 draw against Tottenham.

Spurs fell behind at St Mary's when James Ward-Prowse cut across a bouncing ball to volley a swerving shot past Hugo Lloris for a superb opener.

But the game turned when Mohammed Salisu fouled Son Heung-min in the box to earn a second booking in 12 first-half minutes and allow Harry Kane to level from the penalty spot.

Hasenhuttl said, "When you play nearly 60 minutes with one men down two days after a very hard game and then you see the boys fighting, there's no chance to be more proud than today, especially after a very intensive first half.

"We made a fantastic goal and one mistake. [For the red card we should] let him shoot. Let him shoot and Fraser could make the save. We deserved to get something.

"We had chances to score. Fantastic for us to get point against a team on fire. We surprised them a little bit with our shape.

"They had a lot of entries in our box and half chances but we defended well. Fraser did a good job today. Good to take the point.

"We have a team you can really identify with. Unbelievable effort in every game. I don't want to speak about our limits as a club."
