Puel delighted with sublime Southampton second half

Claude Puel commended his side for their improvement in the second half as they cruised to a 3-0 victory away to West Ham.

Southampton boss Claude Puel praised his side for a sublime second half in their comfortable 3-0 win away to West Ham on Sunday.

Charlie Austin gave the visitors the lead in the 40th minute at London Stadium with the game's first shot on target, before Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse sealed Saints' second Premier League win in a row after the interval.

Puel was unhappy with the way his players utilised possession against a defensive West Ham side in the first 45 minutes, but commended the way in which they improved after taking the lead.
