Scoring your first goal for a new club is always a welcome relief. If it's an absolute pearler, all the better.

Fortunately for Southampton's £16m Summer signing Sofiane Boufal, he decided curling a glorious effort into the top corner was the right way to endear himself to the St.Mary's faithful. Well, the few that bothered to turn up to tonight's EFL Cup game against Sunderland, anyway.

That's him off to Liverpool for £30m in the 2017 Summer transfer window, then.
