Salisu's Premier League debut ends in Southampton disappointment

Southampton summer signing Mohammed Salisu made his first appearance in the Premier League in a 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

The Ghanaian was a 72nd-minute substitute in the matchday 24 fixture at St. Mary’s, replacing the injured Kyle Walker-Peters.

The league bow comes only three days after he made his debut for the club in a 2-0 away win over the same Wolves side in the FA Cup on Thursday.
