Ronald Koeman has praised his side after their win against QPR
Sadio Mane's last-gasp winner ensured the visitors all three points and pushed Southampton back into third in the table.
"I think we played well. We played good football and we had the best chances in the game," said Koeman.
I think the better team won today
"We were maybe lucky that Fraser Forster made that great save 10 minutes before the end, but I think the better team won today.
"Sadio Mane was very good, but Eljero Elia was as well.
"We spoke about exploiting the space behind QPR's defenders, and I think we did that well, and created some good chances before Sadio scored the winner."
Southampton will stay in third if Manchester United draw or lose against West Ham tomorrow at Upton Park (16:15).
