Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert says his players "deserve all the credit" after they beat Bristol City 4-1 on Saturday.
Two goals from Cyle Larin, and strikes from Kuryu Matsuki and Finn Azaz capped off an excellent performance, and extended their unbeaten run in the league to six matches.
"If you see the block of games that we come from it's not easy, especially if you then face a team who had a whole week to prepare," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"The midweek game against Swansea we knew that we have to run more and we did run more and more intense than we have all season.
"Obviously that takes takes a toll, that's just the reality so early on in the season and then it was just different energy levels on the pitch today."

IT’S GOOD!! Jaxon Craze drills a 34-yard field goal to put the Warriors up 17-7 with 30.4 left!! Clutch!!! pic.twitter.com/UkscBT1LP5
ONTARIO — When the Ontario Warriors needed a big play the most, junior Cardae Brown wanted his number called.
In the Warriors' 17-7 Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference victory over the Clear Fork Colts in a battle of unbeatens, the Warriors were stuck with a decision to make. Leading 14-7 and looking at a long third-down play, coach Aaron Eckert was contemplating what to do. Then, Brown piped up.
"Cardae is a tremendous athlete who will have opportunities to play beyond high school," Eckert said. "He came to me and said to put him on a post and lets go win this game and as a coach, you have to listen to your players. He made a catch over two guys and made the game-winning play."
HOW'D WE DO? Tables have turned for NJ Pickers as they make Week 4 football picks

Miss USA has crowned its 2026 winner.
After a tight race at this year's annual pageant, Miss Virginia Justus Kelley was bestowed the Miss USA honor on Thursday, Aug. 27, in Miami.
Last year's Miss USA winner, Nebraska's Audrey Eckert, passed the crown to Kelley, who celebrated her win with a spin on the pageant stage as she showed off her bouquet and sparkling tiara. Moments before a winner was declared, Eckert concluded her reign with two accidental tumbles on stage, prompting a standing ovation from the crowd.
Miss Florida Aileen Cerchiara was the first runner-up and will take Kelley's place in the Miss Universe pageant if she is unable to.
Kelley's win was notably special this year as the Miss USA organization also celebrated its 75th Diamond Anniversary with a corresponding "75 Years of Icons" pageant theme.

When Miss USA 2025 Audrey Eckert accepted her crown, she signed on not only to represent the organization but to represent the entire country.
Last year, Eckert was crowned by the then-reigning Miss Universe ******* leholder Victoria Kjær Theilvig on Oct. 24, 2025. Since then, she has spent the past year traveling the country, representing the organization and the country at appearances as part of her duties as the pageant queen.
For Eckert, who has been competing in pageants since she was nine years old, the win was the realization of a dream for the young ******* leholder. In 2020, she won Miss Nebraska Teen and placed third runner-up at the Miss Teen USA competition in the same year.
During her time as one of the more than 80 women to hold the prestigious Miss USA ******* le, Eckert has attended events like the Oscars, made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival, and more.
Speaking with PEOPLE as her reign draws to a close, the current pageant ******* leholder breaks down the lesser-known facets of what it takes to be the leading lady of the national pageant that those unfamiliar with the pageant might not know.

Eckert tells PEOPLE that one thing outsiders might not understand about holding ******* les like Miss USA, Miss Teen USA or even Miss Universe is that the women spend "a lot of time on the road traveling."
While travel days can be long, Eckert says the women are expected to "maintain" their appearances — to always "look the part" of Miss USA.
"You're traveling across the world trying to get workouts in, get your nails done, get your hair done, all those tactical things," she explains. "People don't always think of the logistics of it."
She admits that it can be hard, appearing in back-to-back appearances and travel days, but that she is aware she must always show up as the pageant queen she was elected to be, no matter what.

On Sunday, I felt flattened by Southampton's defeat at Watford.
When recording Goin' Home With Adam and Jo on the way back, Jo Tessem and I could hardly raise our spirits and delivered a thoroughly miserable half-hour.
Since then I have been reflecting on how the game unfolded at Vicarage Road and whether we were overreacting on Sunday.
Should we have said "well, it's only the first game" and "it's early in the season, they will get better"? As I write this, the answer is still no.
Saints have set very high standards under Tonda Eckert and we all expected that they would hit their stride early and swat Watford aside. It never happened.

Southampton's first Championship game since the Spygate scandal ended in a 2-1 loss at Watford on Sunday.
Canadian striker Cyle Larin pulled a goal back for the Saints in the second period but they could not find an equaliser.
We asked for Southampton fans to send us their views on the performance and result and here is what some of them had to say:
Steve - Ineffective sideways and backwards keep-possession play instead of positive attacking play. When are Saints going to learn?
George - Started well but then could not hold them off. Both goals should have been stopped. Jack Stephens has to look at himself for both goals. Much better second half but we still need a top striker. I wish Tonda Eckert would give Edozie a better run as he is very skilful.

Southampton's sporting director has indicated the club is prepared for a potential Football ******* ociation ban for manager Tonda Eckert after the 'Spygate' scandal, while still hoping for a positive resolution.
The Saints have already faced severe penalties, including expulsion from the Championship play-off final and a four-point deduction for the upcoming season.
These sanctions followed the club's admission of three EFL regulation breaches for illicitly monitoring semi-final opponents Middlesbrough and two other teams.
Eckert accepted full responsibility for the affair, a position publicly backed by Southampton owner Dragan Solak.
The German manager now faces three FA charges under Rule E3.1 for "misconduct".

DETROIT, July 30 (Reuters) - Ford CEO Jim Farley told employees in a town hall on Thursday that the company is preparing for the possibility that Chinese automakers could enter the American market in the next five to 10 years, even though the country has erected numerous trade barriers to cars from China, according to three people who viewed the meeting.
Farley has been among the most vocal about how competitive Chinese auto giants like BYD are in the industry. Ford is preparing to roll out a family of affordable electric vehicles that it engineered from the ground up to match the cost and efficiency of the Chinese companies.
The Ford chief, along with other senior leaders, said in a question-and-answer portion of the town hall that it is more likely Chinese companies would enter the market at the latter end of that range. The comments come as the U.S. Senate is pushing to expand a ban on Chinese car sales in the world's second-largest and most lucrative auto market.
A Ford spokesperson declined to comment on discussions that took place during a private meeting with employees.

SOLON, Ohio, July 21 (Reuters) - A nondescript facility south of Cleveland has become an early staging ground for the auto industry's next supply-chain pivot: replacing vehicle hardware from China.
The plant belongs to Eagle Wireless, a maker of electronics that was formed in late 2025, largely in response to a federal rule that bans certain Chinese connected-car software and hardware in U.S. vehicles by the end of the decade.
"There's a massive opportunity for us," said TJ Dembinski, president of Eagle Wireless. He said Eagle grew out of a need to counter China's dominance in modules, which he knew would be challenging for U.S. automakers as the regulations took effect.
It's been a mad dash to scale up production of modules, the small circuit boards that enable vehicles to have a wireless connection to the outside world. Eagle started with about 140 employees and is aiming to grow to 1,000 in the next three years. Its revenue expectations have increased by almost 100% for the year, to nearly $100 million.

Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert has been hit with a misconduct charge by the Football ******* ociation in connection with the 'Spygate' scandal that shook the Championship playoffs last season.
Southampton were thrown out of the playoffs back in May despite defeating Middlesbrough across two legs, after a staff member was caught covertly observing an opponent's training sessions.
The Saints were also handed a four-point deduction for the 2026-27 season, with Middlesbrough subsequently reinstated for the play-off final, which Hull City claimed 1-0 at Wembley.

DETROIT, July 13 (Reuters) - German auto component and chip maker Bosch is beginning sample production at its first U.S. semiconductor factory, the company said Monday, finalizing a $225 million agreement with the U.S. Commerce Department to strengthen domestic manufacturing of silicon carbide chips.
Some automakers and parts suppliers have expanded manufacturing in the United States under President Donald Trump, seeking to avoid costly tariffs and protect against geopolitical disruptions. Chip shortages sparked industry-wide turmoil during COVID-19, exposing the sector's heavy dependence on a small group of suppliers in Europe and Asia.
Bosch bought the chip plant in Roseville, California in 2023 from TSI Semiconductors and reconfigured it, at a total cost of $2 billion including the Commerce Department funds, and will begin commercial production later this year.
Paul Thomas, president and CEO of Bosch in North America, told Reuters that the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade was part of the reason Bosch had increased its investment in the U.S. chip sector, as companies there seek more developed domestic supply chains.

Some automakers and parts suppliers have expanded manufacturing in the United States under President Donald Trump, seeking to avoid costly tariffs and protect against geopolitical disruptions. Chip shortages sparked industry-wide turmoil during COVID-19, exposing the sector's heavy dependence on a small group of suppliers in Europe and Asia.
Bosch bought the chip plant in Roseville, California in 2023 from TSI Semiconductors and reconfigured it, at a total cost of $2 billion including the Commerce Department funds, and will begin commercial production later this year.

"I hope that over time you can understand and forgive."
Those were the words of Southampton manager Tonda Eckert, speaking to supporters in a video apology published by the club's in-house media team on Tuesday, following the Spygate scandal which led to his team being thrown out of the Championship play-offs.
The 33-year-old said he took "full responsibility" for the charges Southampton admitted during the English Football League's (EFL) investigation into the club's spying practices involving three matches in the 2025-26 season.
But he also doubled down on his previous claims that spying is common practice in Germany and Italy, where he worked before joining Saints initially as Under-21s manager last summer, and insisted that "none of what has happened made any impact on sporting performance".
In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, Southampton owner Dragan Solak said his plan is to allow Eckert to remain in his job, despite the controversy and damage done to the club's reputation.
