Matthew Le Tissier backs Nigel Adkins

Former Southampton striker Matthew Le Tissier has taken to Twitter to offer his congratulations to Saints boss Nigel Adkins.

Southampton recorded their first league victory of the season with a 4-1 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, to ease some of the growing pressure on Adkins.

"So pleased for Nigel Adkins today. No-one deserved that more than him," Le Tissier tweeted.

The result moves Southampton into 17th in the Premier League table.
