Russell Martin: Southampton team spirit fuels promotion push says boss

Southampton's team spirit has helped in maintaining their Championship promotion push after Boxing Day's comprehensive win over Swansea City, says boss Russell Martin.

Saints delivered a 5-0 home win in their victory over the Swans, a third second-tier success in a row.

Martin's side are on a run of 16 games without defeat since September.

"The men are in such a good place, on the pitch, doing some really brilliant things," Martin told BBC Radio Solent.

"To do it in that manner and the way we did I'm delighted for the players and everyone, but I said to the players in the dressing room - it's all about recovery for Plymouth now, we can't stop.
