SPORTS: ARIBO SCORES AS SAINTS HOLDS LEEDS
Read Time:50 Second
With a tie against Leeds, Southampton ended a streak of five straight Premier League losses and salvaged a point.
After summer acquisition Joe Aribo came off the bench to score his first goal for the team, Kyle Walker-Peters scored the equalizer from a tight angle in the 81st minute.
With two goals in 15 second-half minutes, Rodrigo gave Leeds the lead, and the visitors were poised to keep up their winning start to the year.
The Spain attacker headed in Pascal Struijk’s goal-bound shot for his second goal after glancingly finishing Jack Harrison’s challenging cross to open the scoring.
The exquisite through-ball for Walker-Peters’ equalizer was played by Saints rookie Sekou Mara, who also almost won it late on but saw his powerful shot well saved by Illan Meslier.
The Saints have moved off the bottom of the standings and into position 15, while Leeds have maintained their unbeaten record after their first two games and have moved up to fourth.
