Southampton FC manager Ivan Juric has commended Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana for his improved performance, despite their 3-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.
Sulemana, who faced criticism following Southampton’s FA Cup exit last weekend, responded impressively by scoring his first Premier League goal of the season in Saturday’s home loss to the Cherries.
Speaking after the match, Juric highlighted the former Stade Rennes star’s talent and influence on the pitch.
“He’s a great guy, great quality. I think he can do really well,” he said.
“Today he scored a great goal, he was dangerous all the match and I’m very happy with him,” he added.
Meanwhile, fellow Ghanaian Antoine Semenyo provided an assist for Marcus Tavernier’s goal in the game.
With Southampton currently struggling near the bottom of the Premier League table, they will aim to bounce back when they host Brighton at St. Mary’s next weekend.
