Former RB Leipzig boss Hasenhuttl’s Saints hassled ex-Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea off their composed stride at St Mary’s Stadium. “It was an important point for us,” Hasenhuttl told BT Sport. “We played to the maximum. Tactically, against such a strong side, it’s important you’re committed. “I didn’t see that many chances from them. With a little bit of luck we would’ve won the game. “A draw today feels like a win. And it’s a step towards us returning to our normal form. “With the ball we weren’t that great. It was tough but our goal was us at our best. “Against such a strong side it was important everybody performed. “No complaints about their penalty. We know the dangers of tackling in the box. “We are believing in what we are doing. The Premier League is tough. For us, it is good that we take a point from such a strong side.” "The draw for us is like a win today!" "The Premier League is tough and for us, it's good to take a point from such a strong side."
