Despite the 3-2 defeat, Juri\u0107 revealed that the Super Eagles forward has much to offer<\/a> the struggling Southampton side.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think Paul has quality,\u201d Juri\u0107 said in his post-match comments<\/a>. \u201cHe wants to score, he is a fighter. This is the quality, and I want players with quality. I think Paul can give us a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Onuachu\u2019s header from a Mateus Fernandes cross<\/a> handed hope to the visitors, but it wasn\u2019t enough to salvage points for the Saints.<\/p>\n

Onuachu, who joined Southampton in January 2023, had endured a tough spell with the club, failing to find the net in his earlier appearances.<\/p>\n

After a season-long loan at Trabzonspor, where he scored 17 goals and provided four assists, Onuachu returned to Southampton looking to prove himself.<\/p>\n

His first Premier League goal comes 658 days after making his debut against Brentford, but it arrives at a critical time for the Saints, who are rooted in the relegation zone with just six points from 22 games.<\/p>\n

The Saints remain in dire need of points as they continue to fight for survival, and Onuachu will hope to build on this momentum to help the team avoid a relegation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
