Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina has revealed the damage caused by Mark Noble's challenge during Saturday's win over West Ham.

And the Gabon international showcased his battle wounds on Sunday, posting a photo of his shin complete with a bloody gash down the middle.

Lemina was replaced after the hour-mark, making way for James Ward-Prowse, but was delighted to register his first win in the Premier League after last week's goalless draw against Swansea.
