Southampton manager Russell Martins has praised Paul Onuachu following the striker’s impressive performance in the 3-2 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday. Onuachu, who made his first start of the season, was a constant threat to Liverpool’s defense with his effective link-up play. Despite being forced off in the 52nd minute due to injury, Martins expressed hope that it was nothing serious, acknowledging Onuachu’s strong training performances. The 30-year-old has featured in six league matches for Southampton this season.
