Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo praised Sekou Mara's "massive" impact on his Premier League debut.

The France U21 international made a substitute appearance in a draw with Leeds United on Saturday.

Asked what he made of the former Bordeaux starlet's performance, Aribo told the Daily Echo: "Massive impact, terrific ball from him to set up Kyle.

"That's what you need in a team, you need quality in the final third and that's what football is about.

"Football is about moments and that's what he has done, stepped up and Kyle has got a goal from the assist today."
