Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu has set an incredible English Premier League (EPL) record despite Southampton losing to Westham as the race for survival heats up, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Paul Onuachu attempted eight shots for Southampton today (vs West Ham). No player has had more in a single Premier League game across 2024-25 so far as Opta Analyst.
Onuachu in his second start of the season up front alongside Adam Armstrong gave the Westham defense line so much work to do, Sugawara, involved in an attacking sense for the first time, swung in a high, deep cross that was brilliantly kept alive by Kyle Walker-Peters, whose left-footed volley back across goal was met by the stretching Onuachu, but the big striker just could not quite crane his neck to direct the ball on target as it dropped agonizingly wide from six yards.
Onuachu was a regular outlet, holding the ball up well on a couple of occasions before he found himself pulling the ball back from the right-wing position not once but ended up on the losing side.
