    Southampton's Dusan Tadic: "The defeat in midweek against Midtjylland was maybe a good wake-up call for us and we showed a great reaction today we played attacking football. 

    Asked about his card-waving reaction to the foul which prompted Steven Whittaker's sending off: "I think it was a really obvious yellow card because I was going in on goal. I think sometimes you need to help the referee, I think we help him with reaction."

    To be fair to Tadic, I don't think he quite understood the controversy around his reaction.

    "As soon as Norwich went down to 10 men it was game over. Ronald Koeman was nice and positive, he put two up front and went for the jugular. You just wonder if Norwich lack a little bit of Premier League quality."

    Norwich City manager Alex Neil: "The manner in which we relinquished the record was disappointing. That wasn't like us. We didn't start well, even 11 v 11 we were poor, our use of the ball was poor. I think Whittaker's first yellow was a bit soft, he was just trying to get back in position, but they were silly decisions and they cost us. We didn't deserve anything from the game and we need to be better for the next match."

    Southampton's Ronald Koeman

    "It was a very positive result. 

    "Last Thursday was a big disappointment and it's always hard to start well, but we played very well at the beginning. 

    "The goal before half time broke the game open, and I'm very happy about how we played in the second half - there was lots of pressing and we created some great chances. 

    "Mane is the type of player who makes a difference, he's an important player for us and one we won't sell. Victor Wanyama is a key player and for him the answer is the same as for Sadio. They will stay at Southampton, I'm 100% sure about that. 

    "We need another centre-back and we're working hard to bring in a new player in that position."

    Saints have been heavily linked with Celtic's Virgil van Dijk.

    Ronald Koeman has come out swinging at those deadline day vultures who are looking to pick off some of the juiciest parts of from the Saints squad.

    "The same answer for Victor and Sadio - we do not sell. They will stay at Southampton, I am 100% sure," he said.

    "They need to respect their contracts and show the commitment that Sadio is showing."

    Full quotes to come.

    "Southampton are the first team I've seen in a long time this season play two proper wingers - Mane on one side and Tadic on the other - and they've got their just desserts."

    Norwich's best chance comes far, far too late.

    Bradley Johnson's meaty shot is palmed back into the danger area by Maarten Steklenburg, but Gary Hooper punts the follow-up wide from 12 yards with the goalkeeper out of position.

    Juanmi has looked bright since he has come on and he almost gets Jay Rodriguez in as he feints to shot and instead dinks the ball towards his Southampton team-mate. Just overcooked.

    Cameron Jerome has had just 22 touches - the fewest of any Norwich player on the pitch still.

    It's been a long day for little reward and he is given the last few minutes off with Gary Hooper on in his place.

    Norwich with a late corner in front of their own fans, who applaud heartily as Robbie Brady comes over to take it.

    They also ooh and ahh generously as he sends an ambitiously curling looping effort over the top.

    Norwich have not had a shot on target in the match. Alex Tettey has only their third attempt and it is a shocker. Leaning back, the midfielder sends it well over the top and towards the back of the stand behind Maarten Stekelenburg's goal.
