The towering defender made six successful tackles out of eight attempts posting a tackle success of 75 per cent. He also made three clearances and 1 interception.
The performance led to fans of Southampton voting him as the Man of the Match in their Match Day 3 tie.
This comes after another fine performance for the Saints last weekend when they played Manchester United.
With such impressive performances, it is only a matter of time for Ghanaians to start petitioning him to accept the Black Stars call-up to represent Ghana.
Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that Black Stars coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor has invited four new players to the Black Stars squad ahead of the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
This has become necessary because of the Covid-19 related issues that have arisen ahead of the international break as English clubs announced they will not be releasing their players.
Akonnor has called up Celta Vigo defender Joseph Aidoo and recent social media sensation Yaw Yeboah of Wisła Kraków.
The other two are Germany based players Braydon Manu of FC St. Pauli and Daniel Kofi Kyereh of Darmstadt 98.
