Some Southampton fans are in full support of manager Ralph Hasenhuttl following the club’s immense 2-0 win over fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League on Thursday.
The Saints picked up their second consecutive Premier League win on Boxing Day and it came days after an impressive 3-1 win over Aston Villa. Despite Danny Ings being on the bench, Southampton managed to beat the Blues 2-0, thanks to goals from young Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond.
The Saints are now 14th in the Premier League and are now only eight points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.
Southampton fans: Are you fully behind Hasenhuttl?
Absolutely!
Yet to prove himself!
This has left many Southampton fans in awe of manager Hasenhuttl, with many of them hailing him for the Chelsea win.
Look at his face, love the man

Massive respect to him, turning things around. Not many managers manage that once things start to go south.

The Saints have picked up two consecutive wins in the Premier League for the second time in two months. Their previous run similar to this one saw them beat fellow relegation candidates Norwich and Watford, before losing to West Ham and Newcastle.
Since the Saints lost 9-0 to Leicester City in the Premier League back in October, they have lost only four games and have picked up four wins and a single draw. This has seen them move up the table in a positive fashion.
So far this season, the Saints have let in 37 goals in the division and that is the second-worst defensive record in the competition. They have scored a total of 23 goals – the ninth-best in the Premier League.
What do we think?
The Saints are in a good vein of form not just because of the results but because of how well they have played. It shows how Hasenhuttl is finally getting things right now that he is nearing the end of his first year at the club. They have to make sure that they are consistent and if they are, they could well be in with a shout for a Europa League finish. It is very tight.
