​Southampton manager Hasenhuttl lauds Ings: He can smell danger

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has sang the praises of his star striker Danny Ings.

The veteran frontman has been in scintillating form with the Saints this term.

His goals are part of the reason why they are inching away from the relegation zone.

He has scored 14 in all competitions and 12 in the Premier League this term.

Hasenhuttl told reporters: "The strange thing is that he is always the person in that situation [opportunity to score].

"It means he feels and smells where the opponent can get problems or into trouble.

"I think it is the third or fourth time this season where in a pressing situation he is in the right spot, getting the ball at his feet and score.

"It is not a coincidence. And you have to be calm to score in this moment."
