Ralph Hasenhuttl said he hoped Southampton’s draw against Chelsea was the start of his side returning to their normal selves after they ended a run of six successive Premier League defeats.
The hosts took the lead against the run of play in the first half when Nathan Redmond played a brilliant ball to send Takumi Minamino clear and the on-loan Liverpool striker showed great composure to slot beyond Edouard Mendy.
Chelsea were unable to kick on after that and instead it was Southampton who went closest to grabbing a winner as Jannik Vestergaard hit the crossbar with a header before Ings put the loose ball into the side-netting.

However, Saints manager Hasenhuttl was satisfied with a positive result in light of their recent torrid run.
“A draw feels like a win,” he said. “It’s a step towards us returning to our normal form.”
“We are believing in what we are doing. The Premier League is tough. For us, it is good that we take a point from such a strong side.”
The point left Chelsea in fourth place on 43 points with Southampton 13th on 30 points.
