For a defender, it had to take time for him to score his first ever goal for the Saints, but his performances this season proved his first would not take time.
Salisu shot Southampton into a 53rd minute goal at the Bramall Lane, after Ibrahima Diallo had cancelled Enda Stevens' opener for Sheffield United. Oli McBurnie leveled in the 66th minute to force the game into penalties, where Salisu and his teammates triumphed.
Mohammed Kudus returned like he never was away. The 21-year-old Ajax star featured for the first time for the Ajax first team on Tuesday night, as the free scoring Dutch champions thumped Fortuna Sittard 5-0.
The Black Stars playmaker who came on in the second half netted his side's fourth in the thrashing of Sittard at the Offermans Joosten Stadium.
His compatriot, Kwasi Okyere Wriedt, continued his scoring form after netting his second in a row as Willem II snatched an important win at RKC Waalwijk. The former Bayern Munich youth star broke the game's deadlock in the 52nd minute as Willem won 2-1.
And it was debut delight for young Ghanaian midfielder, Augustine Boakye, who netted Wolfsberger AC's fifth goal as they thrashed Siegendorf in the OFB Cup match in Austria.
