Futures bright, as Southampton, Fulham hotshots net first senior goals in Saints win A pair of rising forwards showed glimpses of what the future could hold after registering their first senior goals as Southampton took all three points against Fulham. With the top flight status of Southampton secured and Fulham’s relegation fate sealed, a match with the shackles firmly off was expected at St. Mary’s.

Playing a blind ball back, Takumi Minamino pounced, but Aina showed great pace and desire to thwart the Japanese international before he could unleash a shot.
