Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he is delighted with his side's performance in their win over Liverpool in the Premier League.

Defender Dejan Lovren scored the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute at Anfield, which was enough to secure a victory to end the Reds' unbeaten start to the season.

Pochettino told BBC Sport: "We are very pleased, the effort the players put in was amazing. We were up against the leaders and I am delighted.

"Overall, we had an amazing game, especially in the second half. It's really good that one of our defenders got on the scoresheet.

"We are just thinking ahead to the next game and nothing else. I've been in football too many years to be carried away."

Southampton are now sixth in the league table after five games this season.
