    Southampton 3-1 Fulham

    Fulham

    Fulham boss Scott Parker speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We huffed and puffed and the two goals we conceded, one set play there was a bit of confusion, the second goal was poor in terms of our habits in defending, it wasn't good enough. We got ourselves back in the game with a very good goal from Fabio Carvalho and then we had a spell where we were in the ascendency and had a couple of chances but missed the final bit and then get hit after trying to push with them scoring a third."

    On motivating the squad: "It's professional pride, our season in the sense of what we're playing for is done and where we are but it's about professional pride and we're in the biggest and best league and there's a spotlight always on. That needs to come into play. Today was not about that, we lacked quality at certain moments, but endeavour and work ethic was there but quality, we fell short in certain moments."

    On Fabio Carvalho: "He showed his quality today, he's young and he's come into this team because he deserves to get in and come in because we've been in search of goals. We've been in search of goals for a long time and he's come in and scored the goal and put in a very good performance. He was a massive bright spark today."

    Southampton

    Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuttl told BBC Sport: "I'm pleased about what I've seen today. Clean sheet is still not there but we deserved this win, we were the better team."

    On Nathan Tella: "He's always smiling. He's very honest because he enjoys what he's doing. He sprints with a smile on his face because he likes to sprint. Sometimes he sprints more in 20 minutes than others in 90 minutes. This is an important season for him. We tried to give him gametime. The way we've tried to develop him is a good one.

    "He's the biggest talent we have at the moment. He had a bad injury. I see him performing like he does at the moment, I enjoy watching it. A big praise for the academy."

    Southampton forward Theo Walcott: "Nathan Tella works so hard in training. I'm very pleased he got his goal. Everyone is so delighted for him. He's such a good kid. He's got a really bright future.

    "[His assist] shows his awareness at such a young age."

    Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuttl speaking to Sky Sports: "We showed a committed performance, pleased with the substitutes because it's not been our biggest strength this season but all three had a part in the game. The game balance was good over the game, we knew we had to be clinical, first-half we had chances, we deserved the win.

    On Nathan Tella: "Since he joined he has been a lively factor in our game, you can be sure he will sprint more in 20 minutes than others do in 90 minutes, always high tempo which is what you need for a sub, vey pleased with his performance.

    "I love him he's always positive, he loves what he's doing and that's what you have to. He's really one of the hardest workers. Important to take care of expectations but giving him more game time as a sub when the opponent is a bit tired this is the perfect moment to show up, good for a striker to come on late."

    On Che Adams: "His statistics for the season we have spoken about and he could have much more goals, but he always works hard for the team, the more he sores the more he deserves to play because he hasn't always had it easy but this year he has had a bit of a breakthrough."

    On James Ward-Prowse: "Pleased with the performance from set-pieces, we are the best in the league from set-pieces, based largely on James and what he does for the team."

    Fulham

    Fulham boss Scott Parker to Sky Sports: "Pride, effort, some good bits. At 2-0 down we got ourselves back in the game with a lovely goal from Fabio. We just lacked that little bit in the end.

    "[Southampton's first was a] poor goal to concede. It looked like we missed a header and then there was confusion. The second goal, we defended very poorly and didn't follow runners. After that we got ourselves in the game but it wasn't enough.

    "[Fabio Carvalho was] fantastic. This team has been in need of goals. His overall performance was full of confidence. He showed his quality."

    That was a special moment seeing young footballers getting into the game, getting onto the pathways, getting goals and seeing their delight to score.

    Fulham did much better in the second half but couldn't put their chances away. Theo Walcott getting the goal and seeing the game out, Southampton finally get a good result but a typical type of Fulham performance.
