Ronald Koeman says James Ward-Prowse may have found his position after an impressive performance in the 3-0 win against Norwich City.

The Academy graduate was played alongside Oriol Romeu at the heart of the Southampton midfield on Sunday, with Steven Davis deployed just ahead of the duo.

Ward-Prowse, who went close with two free-kicks during the course of the game, worked extremely hard to help his side pick up their first Barclays Premier League win of the season.

And Koeman, who has played the England Under-21 international in a more advanced role up to now, was pleased with the performance of his midfielder.

“He was very good,” Koeman enthused. “Maybe we have to talk about that position finally being a better position for Prowsey.

“It’s because he is playing more behind the ball. His passing is important to the team.

“Without his passing he did a great job to do on the right moment the pressing with Oriol.

“That was important in the second half.”
