Emmanuel Mayuka this evening scored his first goal under new Southampton coach Ronald Koeman.
The Zambian striker was on target in the second half of Southampton’s 6-0 away win in a pre-season friendly over Belgium lower league side Sporting Hasselt on Thursday evening.
Mayuka come on after halftime to score Southampton’s fifth goal from the penalty spot in the 78th minute.
The 27-member Southampton first team now wraps up their five-day two-match visit to Belgium that began with a 4-0 win over Dutch lower league club EHC Hoensbroek on Tuesday.
Mayuka was not on target in that pre-season friendly.
Meanwhile, Mayuka and his team mates head back to the South coast to continue their preseason buildup and host Swindon Town on Monday and German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen next Saturday.
The striker has returned to England after a season loan spell at demoted French club Sochaux.
I do not understand why Mayuka is playing with such a great opportunity of his life in his career…keep it up wonder kid though.
@KC what do you mean.
Mayuka deserves to play there, he USED be a good striker. Just need to humble ka attitude, and eat less.
KC that is bemba use English.
Mayuka is humble,ichibeleshi tafwaya.
penalty against a lower league side.
everytime he scores it is news. he is a bad striker.
a penalty in a 6-0 bashing. that should say something. in short, the boy needs to put head to the wheel
This is not news at all. He should score for Zambia to enable the country win either Africa cup or World Cup.
encourage the player and play for him….
