Ralph Hasenhuttl happy with youngsters after Shrewsbury win
Southampton manager shifted praise on his youngsters after his side defeated Shrewsbury 2-0 in their rescheduled FA Cup third-round tie.
The game, originally scheduled for January 9, was postponed following a coronavirus outbreak at
Shrewsbury
, which saw their training ground closed.
Ralph Hasenhuttl
fielded a side that blended youth and experience for this cup tie.
Daniel N'Lundulu
opened the scoring for a much-changed Saints side with a low effort into the bottom left corner.
The hosts dominated possession and while they were relatively comfortable it took
James Ward-Prowse
's late free-kick to seal their win.
“We tried to give them the chance to show up and I think they did OK. They were a little bit nervous at the beginning but I think after five or 10 minutes you could see they really wanted to play.
“They had a clear plan of what we want to do, how we want to play and finally when Dan N’Lundulu scores it’s good for the young lads.
“Caleb did some good dribbling, Vokins, it was not the first game for him but he’s comfortable on the left side, and Kegs after the first minutes was OK. He showed that he can play football and he’s calm on the ball.”
