Onuachu’s mixed performance as Southampton lose
Despite showing a lot of industry to get into the right positions against West Ham, Onuachu’s finishing let him down as the Saints were beaten at home.
The Nigerian forward fired eight shots during the game against West Ham, the most by any player in a single Premier League match this season, but was unable to find the back of the net.
Onuachu was able to get on the end of three big chances but fluffed his lines on all three occasions to the frustration of Southampton fans.

Fans questioned Onuachu’s finishing in the 1-0 loss, bemoaning missed chances that could have turned the game around in their favour.

Onuachu is yet to get off the mark for Southampton after 22 matches in all competitions, and it is becoming clear that fans’ patience with the Owerri-born forward is running thin.
