FT: Chelsea 0-1 Southampton
Southampton
Southampton's James Ward-Prowse: "Amazing feeling. The game was obviously overshadowed a bit by the injury to Cesar and we wish our best to him. We hope he is OK."
On Ruben Selles' impact as interim boss: "It has been a tough season for us. We have lacked a bit of consistency in all aspects of our game, Ruben has come in this week and been fantastic. He has steadied the ship and calmed every one down.
"It is not for me to make the decisions but whoever the manager is we will make sure we will give 100%."
On closing in on David Beckham's record of most direct free kicks in the Premier League: "It is good for me to know any skill in life you work hard for you can perfect it. When I was a kid doing this in my parents garden it was what I dreamed to do so it is great to do it today."
