Southampton’s unsung trio v Bristol City: Peretz, Schlotterbeck and Mubama | OneFootball

Southampton beat Bristol City 4-1. Cyle Larin hit a brace to reach seven in seven, and Finn Azaz added a goal and two assists for Tonda Eckert’s side.

Sainstmarching.com highlights Daniel Peretz, Keven Schlotterbeck and Divin Mubama as the unsung contributors behind the headline acts.

Peretz stayed sharp, making four saves and helping keep Scott Twine quiet. He was close to a first Championship clean sheet before Lorent Tolaj’s late consolation. He still awaits a first league shutout.

The former Bayern Munich keeper was credited with preventing one point three two goals through his agility. He will hope to seal that elusive clean sheet at Wrexham before the international break.

Schlotterbeck delivered a composed display, misplacing only eight of 77 passes and producing a vital goal-line clearance. A late-summer signing from Augsburg and a three-time Germany international, he has become a permanent pick.

With Taylor Harwood-Bellis departing for Aston Villa, for three million pounds, Southampton have found a more than capable successor. Nathan Wood also impressed, winning six tackles and duels to stiffen the back line.

From the bench, Manchester City loanee Divin Mubama teed up Azaz for an 85th-minute goal just seven minutes after coming on. He now has two goal contributions in 123 Championship minutes, and his energy can trouble tiring defences. At 21 he is still learning, but the cameo justified Eckert’s call.
