We put in a shift and got our reward, says Afolabi
Show/hide article…
The 17-year-old, who netted twice in the 4-0 victory at St Mary’s, was delighted to be able to open the new season on such good terms.
“We are all buzzing after that result,” he started.
“It was a great performance from everyone. We put in a shift right from the beginning tonight and got the reward for it.
“Personally, I was really pleased to also get two goals. It was a good way to boost my confidence and start the season.”
Afolabi was twice assisted by Tyreke Johnson in the win over Reading, and the striker was full of praise for his former Under-18s team mate.
“I know where he likes to put the ball so I always try to make sure I can get myself there,” he continued.
“I played a lot with him last year in the Under-18s and we have done a lot of crossing and finishing drills together.
“He played really well tonight and put in a good shift down the left wing. I was happy for him to get on the score sheet too – he really deserved his goal.”

Afolabi scores twice in Southampton victory
Show/hide article…
Jonathan Afolabi scored a goal in each half as Southampton beat Reading 4-0 in their Premier League 2 Division 2 opener at St Mary’s Stadium.
A strong Saints team, including Alex McCarthy, Matt Targett and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, took the lead in the 15th minute through Tyreke Johnson, who then set up Afolabi for the second.
Reading captain Gabriel Osho headed into his own net to put them 3-0 down and then Johnson once again made an opportunity for Afolabi, who volleyed in the fourth.
Reading host Blackburn Rovers at their training ground on Friday lunchtime while Southampton travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Telford on Monday night.

Premier League clubs want transfer window shortened
Show/hide article…
Premier League clubs are pushing for the transfer window to be shut before the start of the season, according to reports.
National newspapers say the issue is set to be discussed at a shareholders’ meeting in September with a majority of clubs in favour of shortening the window, which this year closes on August 31.
The move comes amid uncertainty over the future of a number of players, including Saints’ Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho, Everton’s Ross Barkley and Swansea striker Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp appeared to lend his support to the idea at a press conference ahead of his side’s UEFA Champions League match in Hoffenheim.
Klopp said: “It would have helped us this year (if the window had shut early). It makes sense that when the season is starting, planning for the team is over.”
His Swansea counterpart Paul Clement, who faces losing Sigurdsson to Everton, has also indicated that Premier League bosses broadly back the change.
"At our managers’ meeting at the Premier League last week, we spoke about it,’ Clement said over the weekend.
“The majority of clubs are in favour but maybe all have to be for it to go through. It could happen next year.”
Officials at the Premier League were not immediately available to comment on the reports.

Joleon Lescott supports new summer transfer window plans
Show/hide article…
Joleon Lescott believes it would “make great sense” if Premier League clubs were prevented from buying new players during the summer transfer window, once the new season had kicked-off.
Premier League teams are expected to vote on proposed changes to the rules which currently govern the summer window.
As things stand, all clubs can buy and sell players until the deadline passes at midnight on August 31.
However, it has now been suggested this should be changed so that top tier clubs can no longer purchase new players after the start of the new campaign.
They will still be able to sell players, and there would be no rule changes regarding the transfer window in January.
For this to happen, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs would need to vote in favour of the changes and it is believed most teams support the new proposal.
Appearing on Sky Sports News on Tuesday, former Everton and Manchester City centre-back Lescott said: "It would make sense.
"It would give teams more chance to get organised before the start of the season.
“Most managers want their squads in place before the first game. It can be disruptive otherwise. Cutting that out would be good.”
Lescott remembers how his transfer in August 2009 from Goodison Park to the Etihad Stadium created massive problems for the Toffees.
The 34-year-old switched from Merseyside to Manchester 10 days after the new season began and Lescott added: "I wanted it sorted as soon as possible.
“David Moyes (Everton manager) was furious but they managed to bring in Sylvain Distin in time.”
Meanwhile, Lescott thinks Manchester United will challenge for the title this season and be City’s biggest rivals.
He thinks the summer signings of Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic could be crucial for United in their battle to win their first league title in five years.
“There are quite a few opinions on him, and whether he’s pleasing on the eye but he’s very effective,” Lescott added.
"He’s big, strong and good technically, and is probably underestimated. When United are defending against the better teams he can stretch the game.
“I was surprised to see Chelsea let Matic go, especially to a rival like United. I think United have probably done the best business and I’m sure he’ll [Matic] remain consistent throughout the season.”
As for who will end the season as champions, Lescott said: “My heart says City but if it is going to be anyone it could be United.”

Southampton vs West Ham: Premier League prediction and preview
Show/hide article…
Slaven Bilic must pick his West Ham squad up from a thrashing at the hands of Manchester United as they look to kickstart their Premier League season at Southampton.
Romelu Lukaku starred on his United as Mourinho’s men beat West Ham 4-0 on the opening day of their 2017-18 campaign.
The heavy defeat consigned the Hammers to the bottom of the table, with summer signings Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic, Pablo Zabaleta and Joe Hart unable to stem the tide at Old Trafford.
But with two more away fixtures before they play at the London Stadium again following the World Athletics Championships, the Hammers must improve on the road as they face Manuel Pellegrino’s Saints at St Mary’s on Saturday.
Southampton host West Ham at St Mary’s on Saturday, August 19, with kick-off scheduled for 15:30 BST.
The game will not be televised live in the UK. Alternatively, you can follow live goal updates with Standard Sport’s blog from 2pm.
Can’t see the blog? Click here for the desktop version.
Bilic expects Michail Antonio to be back from his hamstring problem in time for Saturday’s match, but the south coast trip may come too soon for Manuel Lanzini (knee), Cheikhou Kouyate (knee) and Andy Carroll (hip).
Arthur Masuaku is almost certain to be dropped following a poor performance at Old Trafford, with fans heavily criticising the defender after TV cameras caught him laughing moments before Lukaku beat him in the air to head in United’s key second goal of the afternoon.
That should mean Aaron Cresswell starts at left-back after getting some minutes towards the end of the 4-0 defeat in Manchester, with the return of Antonio offering Bilic the chance to shore up his defence with a three-man back line and his first-choice wing-backs.
Click here to place a bet. Odds correct as of August 15 at 1pm.

Southampton more unlikely to sell Virgil van Dijk after Chinese takeover - Sky reporter

Liverpool transfer news: Jeremy Langdon says a sale for Van Dijk is unlikely
The Dutch defender wants to move to Anfield before the end of the transfer window but striking a deal is proving tricky.
And things could be set to get harder after Chinese businessman Gao Jisheng bought an 80 per cent stake in Southampton for £210m yesterday.
Chelsea are also keen on Van Dijk, with Antonio Conte desperate add to his squad.
Sky Sports News reporter Jeremy Langdon says the injection of new cash in the club makes a move for the Dutchman unlikely.
“They’re a fine Premier League club, now with a majority Chinese holding,” Langdon said.
