Nigerian international Joe Aribo is thrilled with Southampton's impressive victory away at Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
Aribo gave the Saints the lead in the 21st minute of the game before Liam Delap leveled the score 10 minutes later.
Onuachu grabbed the winner in the 87th minute to help the Saints to their second Premier League win of the campaign.
The former Glasgow Rangers midfielder in a post match reaction expressed his delight with the victory.
“For us it’s an amazing feeling,” said Aribo to the club’s website.
“Really important for us to get that result. We knew how big that game was and we had to fight and you saw us fighting and it was just amazing to get that result.
“I think it just shows the character of the boys, how together we are, how much we’re willing to fight for each other. You know, we can’t do this individually, we’ve got to fight together and that’s all you have to do in the upcoming games.
“(The late winner) was a massive relief because I was in the left centre back and as I’m running over, I’m trying to sprint, but I’ve got nothing left in my legs and just I’m jogging with my hands out. So yeah, it was an amazing feeling.
“I’m more willing to do anything to get us over the line. We have to fight together again. So if I’ve got to go into a position that I’m not familiar with, then I’m going to have to just do it to the best of my ability.”
