Tyler Dibling is the talk of Southampton after the 18-year-old scored his first senior goal in the 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Southampton fans have a new hero as 18-year-old Tyler Dibling scored his first senior goal against Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Goals have been difficult to come by since Southampton returned to the Premier League as Russell Martin tries to find a solution to his misfiring attack.

Russell Martin looks to have a real superstar on his hands in the shape of Southampton academy graduate Tyler Dibling.

Southampton came agonisingly close to a first Premier League win of the season before a 95th-minute Sam Morsy strike was cruelly deflected into Aaron Ramsdale’s top corner.

Russell Martin knows that now is the time to earn his money as Southampton manager, with big decisions needed to save the club’s season.

Southampton suffered late heartbreak against Ipswich Town on Saturday as they were denied a first Premier League win of the season by a 95th-minute deflected equaliser.

Russell Martin has credit in the bank at Southampton after guiding the club to promotion last season but that could be tested if they fail to beat Ipswich Town at St Mary’s on Saturday.

Southampton undoubtedly face their biggest game of the season so far on Saturday as Russell Martin prepares his players for a relegation six-pointer against Ipswich Town.

Russell Martin has shown across his managerial career that he has no issues throwing in young players if he feels they are ready and it has been no different at Southampton.
