Onuachu debuts for Southampton, but Gillingham win
Posted : 09 August 2023
In Southampton's 3-1 loss to Gillingham in the first round of the English Football League Cup, Paul Onuachu marked his season debut by coming on for Ché Adams in the 69th minute in an effort to aid the Saints' comeback.
Having been linked with a departure after a challenging previous season, Onuachu was not part of Southampton's winning squad against Sheffield Wednesday in the English Championship opener.
His potential transfer from Southampton before the transfer window closes remains uncertain.
Fellow Nigerian Joe Aribo made a second-half appearance, and Samuel Edozie remained on the bench.
Despite no Nigerian players starting for Russell Martin's side, Gillingham secured a lead through Ashley Nadesan, with Robbie McKenzie's brace sealing their 3-goal victory. Southampton managed to pull one back with a late goal from Carlos Alcaraz.
