Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was jeered by some Saints fans on his first return to St Mary's to face his former club but was backed by the travelling Spurs supporters:
"I want to thank the Spurs fans because they were fantastic and I felt their support on the pitch. They touched me because they backed me a lot. When they sang my name it was the first time I had heard that from them and I appreciated that so much.
"I was focused on my job but was a very tough and emotional game for me. It was difficult because I still love Southampton and I have very good memories here."
