Ronald Koeman was full of praise for his players after Southampton thrashed Manchester City 4-2 at St Marys on Sunday. Sadio Mane scored a hat-trick as the Saints netted four for the second Premier League game in a row, and Koeman was delighted with the performance of his side.Its very good to win against teams like City, Koeman told Sky Sports. You have to be at your best and the first 45 minutes was already more than our best. We played great football, created a lot of chances and scored two fantastic goals. Sadio Mane kisses the match-ball after scoring a hat-trick in Southamptons 4-2 win We were unlucky a little bit to be 2-1 at half-time, but in the second half we did everything you need to win against teams like City.I like a team who played from the start to win the game, and if we show that, Im enjoying football like today.Koeman was also full of praise for his attacking trio of Mane, Shane Long and Dusan Tadic, who caused City all kinds of problems at St Marys. Long scored the first before Manes hat-trick, while Tadic provided three assists for his team-mates. Jose Fonte felt Southamptons third goal made all the difference as Man City had made a strong start to the second half We have a lot of competition in our forwards and I think the three players up front did an amazing job today, said Koeman. Sadio, Shane Long and Dusan Tadic... I think it was the key to make it very difficult for Citys defenders. Dusan is a type of player where if he gets some freedom, hes dangerous. He sees the options to give at the right moments, thats one of his big qualities.The result leaves Southampton in seventh place in the Premier League, and Koeman is hoping his side can go on to secure Europa League qualification. Its a very important win because it means were still fighting for Europe, said the Dutchman. Weve passed Liverpool and thats good.We know we need maybe two more wins, but I think weve shown in the last few months some great football and spirit, and if we show the belief we showed today, then maybe its possible.Its all about the final part of the season. Last year was fantastic - we had 60 points, now we have 57. Maybe we can do better than last season, and that will be incredible.

LOUIS -- Chad Gaudin found himself in an unfamiliar position Sunday afternoon. The San Francisco right-hander took the mound to start a game for the first time in over three years and tossed six strong innings to lead the Giants to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, ending the Giants seven-game road skid. Brandon Belt hit a two-run pinch-hit double to break a 2-2 tie in the seventh. Buster Posey, who entered the game in a 2 for 20 skid, went 4 for 4 with two doubles to pace an 11-hit attack. Gaudin (1-1), in his first start since Sept. 28, 2009 as a member of the New York Yankees, allowed four hits and two runs, both coming on David Freeses homer in the fourth. He struck out five and did not walk a batter. Gaudin, who set the side down in order in four of six innings, is temporarily replacing Ryan Vogelsong in the rotation. Vogelsong broke several bones in his right hand May 20. "It was nice," Gaudin said of the starting assignment, "I made a couple of minor league starts, but it was refreshing to get back out there and do that." San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said Gaudins performance came at a perfect time for his beleaguered staff. "He gave us a huge shot in the arm," he said. "He went out there and threw quality strikes and actually went a little further than we ever thought." Bochy said before the game that he was hoping to get four, maybe five innings from Gaudin. Instead, Gaudin rolled through six on 79 pitches, 55 strikes. In his first start after 117 successive relief appearances, Gaudin earned his first win since Oct. 2, 2012 when he was a reliever with the Miami Marlins. "I wanted to go out there and give the team a chance to win and also give them some innings," Gaudin said. "I thought I was throwing aggressively and pitching with what I had." The Giants offence, which had scored just seven runs in its previous six road games, gave Gaudin enough offensive support. Belt slammed the first pitch from reliever Randy Choate into the gap in left-centre to bring in Brandon Crawford and Gregor Blanco for a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning. Crawford began the rally with a single off St. Louis rookie Tyler Lyons (2-1). Closer Sergio Romo recorded four outs for his 15th save in 17 opportunities. He got Freese to ground out with Allen Craig on first to end the game. San Francisco scored single runs in the second and third off Lyons.dddddddddddd Posey and Hunter Pence hit back-to-back doubles in the third. "I hit a couple balls hard that found a couple of holes," Posey said. "So now, its just a matter of keeping on." Posey raised his average 15 points to .308 with the four-hit effort. Freese tied the game with his third homer of the season. He has hit safely in a career-tying 12 successive games. "Im seeing the baseball and trying to consistently hit the ball hard somewhere," he said. "Its all about the approach at the plate." Lyons allowed four runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings in his third start. He allowed one run over seven innings in winning his two previous starts. "I was inconsistent from the beginning," Lyons said. "I was fighting myself, just trying my best to eat up a few innings." Despite the victory, the Giants have dropped six of their last eight.. "A much-needed win after yesterday," Bochy said. St. Louis beat the Giants 8-0 and 7-1 in a day-night doubleheader on Saturday. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny and catcher Yadier Molina were ejected in the third inning by first base umpire Clint Fagan after Molina was called out on a close play at first. Molina slammed his helmet to the ground after the call and was immediately thrown out for the third time in his career. Matheny came out to protect Molina and was ejected for the third time as a manager. "I know I was out," Molina said. "I was just upset with myself."
