England-born attacker of Ghanaian descent, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw has expressed his excitement after netting his first senior goal for Southampton on Wednesday night to help the side beat Cardiff City 5-3.
The 18-year-old forward started for the English Premier League club in the game against the lower-tier outfit in Round 64 of the England EFL Cup.
Operating on the right side of Southampton’s attack, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw caused a lot of trouble for the defense of the opposing team.
In the 30th minute, he was set up by Charlie Taylor and made no mistake as he scored with a fine effort that helped his team to secure victory.
Speaking in his post-match interview, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw said it feels great to finally have his first senior goal.
“It feels amazing. Obviously, it's great to get the win and obviously get my first senior goal. So yeah it feels amazing. I hit it and I hit it well and it felt nice to see it get in.
“It wasn’t easy but we pushed and it ended well. It was really good for us. That goal gives me a lot of confidence and hopefully, I can do more,” Samuel Amo-Ameyaw said.
