Joe Aribo earned praise for his contribution as struggling Southampton secured a 1-1 draw away to Brighton in Friday’s Premier League fixture, a result that ended a run of back-to-back defeats for the Saints.
Softfootball reports that Joe Aribo came on in the second half and received a 6/10 rating from Sky Sports, one of several Southampton players recognized for their efforts despite the club’s continued struggles near the bottom of the table.
Despite the point earned, Southampton United remain rooted in the relegation zone, still searching for the kind of consistency that would lift them clear of danger as the season progresses.
The draw offers a small measure of encouragement after a difficult recent run of results for Russell Martin’s side.
Paul Onuachu did not feature in the match due to injury, meaning Southampton had to find their goal threat elsewhere against a Brighton side that pushed them close throughout the contest.
