Southampton boss Ronald Koeman was pleased with their 1-0 friendly win over Bournemouth.
Koeman felt that the contest with the Championship side provided a good test, and one which was a step up from the previous warm up fixtures.
"It was fantastic as a match," he told the club's official YouTube channel after the game.
"I think we played very well in the first 45 minutes and we did what we talked about in the meeting before the match. We like to play high up and press, which we did very well, and we need that intensity in the matches because it's pre-season.
"It was also against a good team in the Championship - [it] is nice to see as well that Bournemouth like to play football. Our fans picked a really good match with 1,300 people coming to see us - I'm very happy about that."
