Nigerian international Joe Aribo scored Southampton’s first goal as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Leeds United to end a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats.
It took just 15 minutes of the second half for Rodrigo to give Leeds United a two goals lead over Southampton.
With another defeat staring Ralph Hasenhuttl in the face, he sent in Joe Aribo, who initiated Saints come back with the first goal before Walker-Peters equalized.
Another Nigerian, Kelechi Iheanacho came on for the last 20 minutes and provided an assist as his club Leicester City lost to Arsenal 4-2. His compatriot, Wilfred Ndidi played all 90 minutes for the Foxes but could not help them secure their first win of the season.
In the early kick-off, Alex Iwobi and his Everton teammates succumb to their second defeat of the season, losing 2-1 to Aston Villa.
