Ghana’s dependable defender Mohammed Salisu dazzled for Southampton FC in their win over Manchester City in the English Football League Cup.
Salisu played full throttle for the Red and Whites outfit as they beat the English champions 2-0 at Saint Mary’s.
First half goals from Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo were enough to end City’s journey in the Cup competition.
The Ghana International had 47 touches, made 27 complete passes and five incredible clearances. He was 100% in defending aerial ball, winning four out of four, before recovering the ball three times. His two timely interventions and one critical block kept City at bay.
Southampton will face Newcastle United in the semi-final as they seek to make it to the final of the Carabao Cup.
