Southampton coach singles out Super Eagles duo Onuachu, Aribo for praise despite.

Southampton’s coach Russell Martin was pleased with the play of Nigerian internationals Paul Onuachu and Joe Aribo, even though his team lost 3-1 against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon in a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium in London.

After the first seven games of the new season, Los Santos are looking for their first victory, however they have lost six games and won once against the recently promoted Ipswich Town.

En cuatro partidos, Aribo estaba incorporado por primera vez en el team de inicio, mientras que in 511 días, Onuachu participaba por primera vez en el equipo más alto de Inglaterra.

The Londoners won the match because to goals from Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka, although Cameron Archer’s miss on a penalty against Manchester United broke the scoreless tie in the 55th.

Aribo denied Leandro Trossard’s effort to score, but Saka was first to reply, ending any hopes of a Southampton comeback with a goal in the 88th minute.Aribo gave Southampton’s midfield some toughness, while Onuachu played brilliantly against two of the best central defenders in the Premier League, Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba.

Despite the loss to Arsenal, Russell Martin praised Onuachu and Aribo during the news conference held after the game.

Martin informed the journalists that Paul had shown up and performed admirably today, and he also believed that Rhino had produced an amazing work for us.

I believe there was a level of trust in him and the team on the pitch today that they’ve all been through a lot of moments for us. Joe Aribo fue excepcional.

Augustine Eguavoen, Nigeria’s interim manager, has excluded Onuachu and Aribo from his team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations against Libya.
