Lewis Dobbin justified his Southampton inclusion against West Ham United with this first ever Saints goal. While he shone, the Hammers had their own striker problems.

Lewis Dobbin scored his first goal for Southampton in a 3-2 Championship victory over West Ham United, justifying his inclusion in Tonda Eckert's starting lineup. The £9m summer signing netted Southampton's decisive third goal after experiencing a wasteful run of form in front of the net.
Saints Marching argues that Dobbin can become a key focal point in attack amid Cyle Larin's recurring injury issues. Meanwhile, the report notes West Ham's comparative struggles at striker under Nuno Espirito Santo, with frontline options Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe managing just one Championship goal each this season.
