The defender who excelled at the 2022 World Cup despite Ghana's early exit from the tournament lasted the entire duration as his outfit suffered a heavy defeat on home turf.

The visitors opened the scoring through Adama Lallala's header after just 14 minutes into the clash on Monday.

Southampton doubled their lead in the 34th-minute mark from Romain Perraud, who scored an own goal.

Roberto De Zerbi side had to go to recess with a two-goal advantage at St Mary’s Stadium.

After the break, Solly March scored to make it 3-0 in the 56th-minute mark.

But James Ward-Prowse who missed a penalty in the 73rd minute redeemed himself to grab the consolation goal for the home team to make it 3-1 at the end of the game.

Meanwhile, Salisu’ compatriot Tariq Lamptey made a substitute appearance for Brighton as they cruised to a comfortable victory.

He was introduced in the 83rd minute, replacing Solly March.
