Joe Aribo and Southampton FC return to the English Premier League hasn't been quiet a dream after falling to their second defeat in two games, Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Their season opener ended in defeat away to Newcastle United, losing by a one goal margin to the ten men Magpies at St. James' Park. They were also undone by the same goal margin at their home ground St. Mary's Stadium on match day tow, condemning them to two defeats in tow games.
Nottingham Forest who has two of Aribo's national teammates in their ranks in Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina took all points Morgan Gibbs-White scored the only goal of the game 20 minutes from time – the decisive moment of Saints’ first competitive home game since the triumphant Championship play-off semi-final second leg against West Brom.
The saints did press for their first goal of the season through the foraging run from Joe Aribo and a Kyle Walker-Peters shot that deflected behind for a corner but they couldn't find a headway to coup something in the encounter.
