Armando Broja said scoring a goal on his first Premier League start was a "dream come true" as his neat finish against a lacklustre Leeds gave Southampton their first league win of the campaign.
The Slough-born Albanian international striker, on loan from Chelsea, fired high into the net after he was set up by Nathan Redmond at the end of a swift counter-attack in the second-half.
It gave the Saints a deserved three points and 20-year-old Broja a treasured career memory.
"It was amazing to get my first start in the Premier League, I've been dreaming of this moment since I was three years old," he said.
