Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has finally netted his first goal of the season for Southampton in the English Premier League.

The Black Stars forward scored on his 23rd birthday to halve the deficit in the Premier League game between Southampton and AFC Bournemouth.

Sulemana, who has struggled with injuries since his move to England, was handed another starting role by manager Ivan Juric.

The 23-year-old was the Saints' brightest spot in the game as they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Saint Mary's.

In a video shared on social media, Sulemana picked a pass from Nigeria's Paul Onauchu before smashing home with his left foot.

Despite Sulemana's strike, Bournemouth restored their two-goal lead after Marcus Tarvenier buried Antoine Semenyo's assist.

The defeat, however, leaves the Saints rooted at the bottom of the table after 25 matches with only nine points.

Sulemana has made 13 appearances in the English Premier League, scoring a goal.
