Manolo Gabbiadini scored Southampton’s opening goal against West Ham United on Saturday.
Southampton scored a late penalty to earn a 3-2 victory against West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Saints took the early lead through Italian striker Manolo Gabbiadini. The 25-year-old’s goal ended Southampton’s run of 9 hours & 15 minutes without a Premier League goal at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Gabbiadini joined Southampton in January, 2017 from Napoli, and scored six goals in 12 matches in all competitions last season.
The 25-year-old is an instinctive finisher. For the first goal, he positioned himself brilliantly and placed the ball past the outstretched arms of Joe Hart.
Southampton fans took to Twitter to express their reaction on Gabbiadini’s performance, and needless to say, they were pretty impressed. Here are some of the selected tweets:
The Saints have made a good start to their Premier League campaign under Mauricio Pellegrino, having picked up four points from their opening two games.
They will face Huddersfield Town in their next Premier League match, away to John Smith’s Stadium.
