Southampton manager Ivan Juric has praised Paul Onuachu for scoring the winning goal in their 2-1 victory over Ipswich Town. The Nigerian striker netted late in the game to secure only the club’s second Premier League win of the season, providing a crucial boost to their survival hopes.
Softfootball notes that Joe Aribo had earlier given the Saints the lead before Liam Delap equalized for the hosts.
Onuachu’s decisive moment came in the 88th minute when he capitalized on a parried shot from substitute Suleiman Kamaldeen.
The former Genk forward smashed the rebound into the net, marking his second goal of the campaign. His clinical finish ensured that Southampton left Portman Road with all three points despite a difficult away fixture.
Juric emphasized the striker’s hard work and dedication throughout the match. He stated:
It was a great moment. He deserved it because he really worked hard, it’s his second goal, I think he can score more, but he really worked hard for the team.
This endorsement highlights the manager’s confidence in Onuachu’s ability to contribute more goals.
