Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl hailed the performance of Lyanco for victory over Arsenal.
Hasenhüttl made four changes to his starting XI, with Lyanco marking his return from injury with a solid defensive display.
He said, “Lyanco is back fit now which also helps us and was an important player today on the pitch and everything we tried to bring on the pitch today was there and it's good for the guys that work that we get the reward for a tough game.
“It was a special day for him and I'm very happy after the session where it looked like he couldn't play because he has a problem with his ankle after an accident, that he pushed hard and did everything from yesterday to today at 3 o'clock to be available.
“Every points are important for us, especially now after not winning for a long time. Against Arsenal at home to take the three points is good.
“It was absolutely great, we didn't play our best football today but against the ball we played some of the best football this season. You can see they're also supporting you when you play like this.
“There's a feel that we're fighting for everything, every shot you block, every defending action around the box they appreciate with applause and this is what is sometimes needed."
