Ralph Hasenhuttl can feel something special brewing at Southampton after what he described as a 'deserved' victory over Chelsea at St. Mary's on Tuesday.
Despite going 1-0 down, Saints recovered to dominate proceedings on the south coast and they eventually sealed a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Romeo Lavia and Adam Armstrong.
Speaking to Match of the Day, Hasenhuttl said: "We deserved to take something today - on Saturday we played a good game and today we took what we deserved because we were fighting unbelievable, two times on the line they made a save and overall it was what people want to see, a team fighting for everything, and the perfect performance.
"We have this DNA, we want to do this against every opponent and we never stop running, this is a way you can hurt big teams when you do it committed - it was not so clear after Saturday how fresh we were tonight, but we can show this."
Asked if something special was brewing, Hasenhuttl replied: "Yes. I said it from the first day that we have the feeling that we have a team that is young but there is a lot of empty space on the hard disk and they can learn.
"They have fun working hard, they have fun running a lot and, when the moment comes, they have fun scoring goals.
"We have won one time away at Chelsea since I was here, that was four years ago but at home not for a while and it was time to take something."
