Southampton boss Ruben Selles was bursting with pride after their 3-3 draw with Tottenham.

The hosts found themselves with a mountain to climb, trailing 3-1 to the Champions League hopefuls with 13 minutes to play, but Theo Walcott pulled a goal back before James Ward-Prowse held his nerve from a pressure penalty deep into stoppage time.

That was after Ch Adams had cancelled out Pedro Porro's first-half opener, before Spurs stormed into a 3-1 lead.

I'm feeling proud, very proud of the performance that the boys put on to the pitch, very proud of how the crowd supported us in the last 15 minutes, I think it was a key moment for us," he said.

Of course we need to analyse the game, get the things we didn't do well, but I think we didn't deserve to be 3-1 down, and the comeback just shows how much football and character we have in our dressing room.

I think you can see on the pitch when we concede the 3-1 (goal), the boys got together and sent a message to each other. We went for it we had the situation to score the second one.

It was difficult to play after you lose against Brentford after three days, but we showed physicality, we showed football, we showed character, we showed togetherness, we saw a stadium that was bouncing with the team, and I'm very proud of it."
