Southampton attacker Dusan Tadic is showing up his old team.
Dusan Tadic scored twice in the Champions League last night to fire Ajax to victory over AEK Athens.
It took the Serbian’s goal tally to 10 for the season in the Eredivisie and Champions League combined.
If you include Tadic’s goals in the Champions League, he has 13 goals.
Prior to last night’s game, Southampton had 12 in all competitions, 10 in the Premier League.
This highlights both the talent which Southampton sold this summer, and their own ineffectiveness in front of goal.
Tadic is definitely benefitting from a change in scenery, while Southampton look stale already under Mark Hughes.
Their new signings are taking time to click, with Stuart Armstrong only bursting into life at the weekend with a brace in a defeat to Fulham.
Big money summer signing Mo Elyounoussi has only scored once.
Top scorer Danny Ings has netted five league goals and he has been a big hit. It must be a priority for the Saints to get him tied down permanently.
