Victor Wanyama thinks Southampton can qualify for Europe

Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama believes a never-say-die attitude could yet see them secure a European berth next season.
Saints recovered from two goals down and a missed penalty to defeat Liverpool 3-2 at Anfield on Sunday and are now just three points and two places off fifth place.
Former Celtic player Wanyama came off the bench at half-time to play his part in the dramatic win and he was convinced Southampton could get something from the game even when 2-0 down.
"I know the team never gives up and I went in there knowing we could do something and still believing we could get something from the game," he said.
"It was a tough game. Liverpool are a really good team and the result was fantastic. I think the whole team played really well."
Having defeated fellow European hopefuls Stoke 2-1 away in their previous match, Southampton have now won seven of their last 11 Premier League games, with Wanyama keen to keep the run going.
"We really needed to win - we showed great character and we have done well and managed to get three points," he added.
"It is important that we keep on getting the points on the board because the standings are a bit tight, but you never know because if you get points like this then who knows where you could end up?
"I'm happy for the team and for everyone."
