Southampton striker Ricki Lambert was delighted for Jay Rodriguez after his goal in victory over Liverpool.

The former Burnley man has not enjoyed the easiest of times since his £6million move from Burnley but was inspired form against Liverpool, putting in his best performance in a Saints shirt.

"I think Jay is a terrific player," Lambert said. "I think striker is his best position and when we have played in that position together we've damaged sides.

"It was good to see him get that terrific goal at the end. I was absolutely over the moon for him."
