The Southampton player scored a fantastic goal after a super pass from his half of the field (video)

The pre-season sparring of the English “Southampton” against the Spanish “Valencia” will surely be remembered by the fans of the home team not so much for the defeat of their favorites (1: 2), but for the fantastic goal scored by the newcomer of the “saints” Joe Aribo.

In the second half, with the score 0:1, the 26-year-old midfielder of the home team, who moved from the Scottish Rangers in the summer, after trimming the opponent, picked up the ball in his own half of the field and rushed to the Spaniards’ goal. Already on the way to the Valencia penalty area, he was met by three defenders. Aribo not only passed them, but also in the area of ​​the 11-meter mark, with an incredible dribbling, he left two more opponents with the nose, hitting the guests’ goal (the footballer’s debut goal for Southampton). Masterpiece!

By the way, Joe Aribo was born in London, but decided to play for the national team of his historical homeland Nigeria. At the same time, he made his debut in the national team in the match with the Ukrainian national team at the Dnipro Arena in September 2019, hitting the yellow-blue gate already in the 4th minute of the match.

Earlier reported that the goal-masterpiece in stoppage time saved the team from defeat in the Champions League match.
