Boufal showing growth

I was not able to watch the match but rather listen to the live commentary on the Saints website and from what I gathered Boufal gave tremendous effort in this match. He was working back on defense, making tackles, creating chances, doing it all and that is very refreshing to hear.

We all (including Boufal) know what he is capable of and if he puts it all together he is going to be a special player and a key man for Saints success this season. He seems determined to prove himself and earn his spot in the team and it is going to be exciting to watch going forward.
