“I think he did a good job”, Hasenhüttl said as Salisu played full 90 minutes.
“He is a real defender I think. That is what he shows and with the ball also, good game management.
“We didn’t play that much football I think. We can do it much more.
“But it was a lot of pressure on the ball and then it’s not so easy to be calm and find the right decisions.
“But I was happy with him, definitely“, he concluded.
Salisu is expected to feature for the Saints when they face Leeds United on Tuesday evening (18:00).
