Djenepo scores first Premier League goal in Southampton win

Moussa Djenepo scored his first goal of the season to help Southampton claim a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in a Premier League game on Saturday.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who teamed up with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men in the summer from Belgian First Division club Standard Liege, made his second appearance for the Saints and impressed.

30 minutes into the encounter, Brighton were reduced to 10-men after Florin Andone received a red card for serious foul play.

Southampton then capitalised on their numerical advantage with Djenepo opening the scoring one minute after replacing Yann Valery in the 54th minute.
