Paul Onuachu sends Southampton message after dramatic twist

Paul Onuachu has sent a message to Southampton following their dramatic late winner against Ipswich Town on Saturday (1 February).

The Saints picked up a crucial three points to aid their fight against relegation by defeating the Tractor Boys 2-1 at Portman Road.

Joe Aribo had given Southampton the lead until Ipswich equalised via Liam Delap, but an 87th-minute goal from Onuachu rescued all three points his team.

It marked only their second win of the season but helped to keep their hopes of survival alive in the Premier League.

Southampton remain bottom of the league after a dismal first half of the campaign, with the club now seven points behind Ipswich.

However, they are a further 10 points away from safety, which they will attempt to cut down throughout the remainder of the season.

The Saints will be back in action on Saturday (8 February) against Burnley in the FA Cup before facing Bournemouth in the Premier League on 15 February.
