London (AFP) – Southampton manager Mark Hughes has insisted there is no danger of complacency setting in as the club continue their battle against relegation from the Premier League away to Everton on Saturday.
Victory over south coast rivals Bournemouth last weekend left the Saints just one point shy of safety with three league games left to play this season.
“I don’t think we’ll fall into the trap of thinking that we got job done last weekend because we haven’t. Nowhere near it,” said Hughes.
“It was a moment in time where we felt that emotion. I think everyone in the stadium felt that emotion and there was an outpouring but I felt it wasn’t a bad thing,” said Hughes, brought in to keep the Saints in the top flight after Mauricio Pellegrino was sacked in March.
“It brought everyone closer, it brought our fans closer to the team and maybe that distance had started to increase over the course of the season.
“For all the emotion that we saw and the fact we were able to at long last please our supporters we have to do it again and we don’t want to disappoint our fans by losing at Everton.”
