#PLStories- Tino Livramento reveals feelings after scoring first senior goal for Southampton #SAINTSFC

TEENAGE starlet Tino Livramento showed his maturity and overarching desire to win in a deflated post-match interview, despite “one of the best feelings” to score his first ever senior goal. The right-back ran riot down the wing with marauding runs, wicked crosses and even a couple of serious sights at goal as he caused the Burnley left-hand side terror throughout. His application was given a dream reward, but not before he had the elation of a first career goal and a Premier League notch ripped away from him as he watched his first-half effort cannon off the far post and bounce back along the goalline to safety. Undeterred, he continued to steam forward and got his just desserts when he was most switched on from a Nathan Redmond corner, sneaking in behind in the carnage caused by a leaping Armando Broja to find himself unmarked and able to turn in for the equaliser.

Livramento’s case is quite unusual at just 18. Chelsea are no strangers to seeing talented players walk out the door when they think the pathway to stardom isn’t quite there for them. This season alone has seen Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori depart for Italy’s Serie A. Roma striker Tammy Abraham is an England international (Pic: PA) Then there’s names you might not see resurface in the Premier League ever again, Mario Pasalic, Marko Marin, Kenneth Omeruo, Ola Aina, Nathan – the full list is as long as your arm. But they all share a similarity. That’s leaving Chelsea when their first team pathway is no longer present, but almost always when they’re early-to-mid 20’s – when pushed, really. Livramento jumped well before that. He knew he was good enough to take a chance now, even at the top level. Very happy to have signed @SouthamptonFC . Can’t wait to get up and running! Exciting times ahead❤️ pic.twitter.com/9y0mm5Hfdp — tino livramento (@tino_livramento) August 4, 2021 “So far, so well,” he admitted, “but I just have to keep my head down and take every opportunity as it comes. “I’m looking forward to progressing and helping the team work hard.”
