Southampton beat QPR 4-1 at St Mary's, with four different players scoring in the win. Caspar Jander missed the game, and Tonda Eckert said he picked up a muscular problem in training on Tuesday.
Goals and assists
Kuryu Matsuki, Cameron Bragg, Keven Schlotterbeck and Welington scored for Southampton. Ryan Manning set up two Southampton goals. Richard Kone scored QPR's goal in the 68th minute after a pass from Karamoko Dembélé.
Why Jander was absent
Eckert said: "It’s a little muscular one, as he picked that one up in training on Tuesday. Obviously not great, but I hope it’s not too bad."
Half-time changes
Eckert said: "Then you need to regulate your emotions because you can imagine players coming in angry at half time but you need to move on."
Eckert said: "We had some adjustments at half time in the way we pressed and I think we played a very good second half. It was not an easy game, but I’m happy with the performance."
