Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu reacts to match-winner against Toulouse

Ghana international Mohammed Salisu has opened up on his match-winning goal against Toulouse in the French Ligue 1 at the weekend.

The Black Stars defender emerged as the hero for Monaco, scoring a crucial goal via header in the third minutes to snatch the three maximum points at stake.

Salisu’s goal is the fastest for Monaco this season and the first win for recently appointed head coach Sebastien Pocognoli, who replaced Adi Hutter earlier this month.

Speaking after a brilliant performance against Francis Abu’s Toulouse side that earned Salisu the Man of the Match Award, the former Southampton player talked through his goal stating to Monaco media that,

“I just tried to take the ball and I think it came to the right place. I’m also well positioned in the six-yard box, so I made sure to put it at the near post.”

After struggling to break into the Monaco team early in the season, Salisu have found his groove and has been a consistent feature in the team.

Prior to the win over Toulouse, Salisu played out the entire duration of Monaco’s goalless draw against Black Stars teammate Mohammed Kudus’ Tottenham Hotspurs in the UEFA Champions League. Scroll down to watch Salisu’s goal against Toulouse.
