Moussa Djenepo: Hasenhuttl hails Mali midfielder after scoring first Southampton goal

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has praised the performance of Moussa Djenepo in their 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.

The Mali international teamed up with the Saints in the summer from Belgian First Division A club Standard Liege and impressed in his second game for the side.

Djenepo opened his goal account two minutes after his introduction as a second-half substitute with an audacious goal against Brighton before Nathan Redmond sealed the victory for the St Mary's Stadium outfit.

“He wasn’t on the pitch very long before he made the first goal – it’s fantastic for him,” Hasenhuttl told the club website.
