Van Dijk: Saints dominated Inter

Southampton staged a second half comeback against Inter Milan after Mauro Icardi put the Italian side ahead in the first half.

Van Dijk equalised on 65 minutes from close range before Inter defender Yuto Nagatomo put the ball into his own net just five minutes later.

Van Dijk, feels that Southampton dominated the game and thoroughly deserved the victory.

"The most important thing was that it was well deserved. We played good football, we were the dominating side, like before in Milan and today we rewarded ourselves with a win," Van Dijk said.

Meanwhile, at the end of the first half, Southampton were awarded a penalty where there appeared to be an altercation between Antonio Candreva and Saints youngster Sam McQueen.

Candreva appeared to scuff up the penalty spot and then seemed to elbow at McQueen and the youngster says that he felt an elbow.

"I saw Candreva trying to dig up the penalty spot, I went over to him. I felt there was an elbow," he said.

He added: "It is fantastic that it is in our own hands. We win the next two games and we are through".
