'We need to keep going' - Eckert

Southampton manager Tonda Eckert was pleased with his side's first-half display in their 3-1 Championship win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

James Bree and Ryan Manning put Saints 2-0 up at the break and Taylor Harwood-Bellis made sure after Jerry Yates halved the deficit before the hour.

Eckert praised his side's reaction to conceding after taking control of the game early.

"I think we put in a very good first half, then if you do concede it's a moment you have to get over and we did, so I'm very happy," he told BBC Radio Solent.

"There are still things we need to improve, we know that, but important today to get the three points."

Southampton are one place outside the Championship play-offs after six wins and a draw in their past seven games and Eckert wants his team to keep pushing.

"It was a very good month, the first one on the road with a positive result, three more very important ones coming up and then two at home, so keep pushing until the next break," he added.

"We need to make sure we keep going."
