Southampton

BBC Sport's Gary Rose at Goodison Park: "Wind the clock back a week and if someone had told Southampton fans that their side would knock Manchester City out of the FA Cup and then beaten a relegation rival on their home soil they would have thought they were dreaming.

"That dream has become a reality in what has been quite the turnaround under new boss Nathan Jones.

"Let's be blunt, the Saints had looked abject when they lost to Nottingham Forest last week and while this wasn't a performance brimming with quality, key players are stepping up at the right time.

"Lyanca has found another level in recent games and in James Ward-Prowse they possess one of the most technically gifted players in the Premier League.

"There is a long way to go - after all this win has only just pulled them back into the pack - but the signs are encouraging that Southampton possess the quality to get out of danger."

Southampton manager Nathan Jones: "Just hard work, you've got to work hard and be hard willed. We've had three big wins in a week, two away from home and one against a very good side at home, it doesn't happen often. It's a big, big week for the club.

"The performances have been building and today we showed so many sides of our game. I'm so proud of our group.

On facing Everton: "I don't there is a bigger Premier League side in history in terms of height and strength! I felt we defended it superbly well for the majority. The goal is a poor one to concede for us, we have to do better.

"But first half we had some good situations and then stepped it up after the break. With a bit more composure, we could have extended our lead.

On James Ward-Prowse: "I wouldn't swap him for anyone. I've had two months with him now and he's a great character, great athlete and probably the best technician in the Premier League."

"We defended well today. We could have been a big more fluent, a bit more aggressive at times but when we were aggressive we were excellent."

Southampton manager Nathan Jones, speaking to Sky Sports: "It has been a big week after the Forest defeat and the negativity surrounding that. Three competitions, three wins - massive, massive week. We had to really dig deep today they were a very physically strong side. Once we got to grips with that I thought we were the better team.

"A dream week, really."

On James Ward-Prowse: "For me he is the best technician in the Premier League. The best thing is his humility, his work rate and desire to do well for Southampton football club. That is what makes him very, very special."
