WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Super Eagles and Southampton midfielder, Joe Ayodele-Aribo has revealed his side plan to give everything to remain in the English Premier league at the end of the season, Soccernet.ng reports. The Saints secured their first away win of the season yesterday at Portman road against Ipswich Town, courtesy of an 87th-minute winner by Paul Onuachu. Southampton’s victory yesterday was also one for the books, where Aribo and Onuachu scored to become the maiden Super Eagles stars to score in a win for the St. Mary Stadium. Speaking after the game, the former Rangers midfielder urged his side to put up a fight to stay in the English top-flight league, although they have just nine points from 24 games. “For us it’s an amazing feeling, really important for us to get that result. We knew how big that game was and we had to fight and you saw us fighting and it was just amazing to get that result. “I think it just shows the character of the boys, how together we are, how much we’re willing to fight for each other. You know, we can’t do this individually, we’ve got to fight together and that’s all you have to do in the upcoming games,” the Super Eagles midfielder said in quotes revealed by Southampton’s official website. Additionally, he praised his national teammate, Paul Onuachu, for his late strike which got Ivan Juric’s team over the line. “The late winner [from Onuachu] was a massive relief because I was in the left centre back and as I’m running over, I’m trying to sprint, but I’ve got nothing left in my legs and just I’m jogging with my hands out. So yeah, it was an amazing feeling.” “I’m more willing to do anything to get us over the line. We have to fight together again. So if I’ve got to go into a position that I’m not familiar with, then I’m going to have to just do it to the best of my ability,” the 28-year-old midfielder concluded. Up next for the Saints is their FA Cup fourth-round game against Burnley on Saturday. After that, they take on Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth.Get Our Sports News First – Join Our WhatsApp Channel Now!
