(Reuters) - Southampton's 4-1 drubbing of Everton on Sunday was just the sort of tonic the team needed ahead of Wednesday's daunting trip to Premier League leaders Manchester City, according to striker Charlie Austin.

Austin scored twice as the Saints snapped a three-match winless run to inflict even more misery on David Unsworth's struggling Everton side and register their biggest win of the season.
