The English negatively assessed Jan Bednarek’s performance. “He struggled to control the ball”
The own goal had a huge impact on Bednarek’s assessment by the English media, which unanimously recognized him as Southampton’s worst player. “Early in the match, he headered a dangerous free-kick but hit the wrong side of the post. He had another chance in the first half when the ball landed directly on his leg, but his volley was blocked. Less than 20 minutes from the end, he scored an own goal after how he struggled trying to control the ball,” Hampshire Live summarized his performance, which rated him a four. It was definitely the lowest score in the team, other players got at least six.
“Daily Mail” emphasized that the goal of the Pole was a summary of Southampton’s unsuccessful period. For a long time they had a significant advantage over Wolverhampton, but could not use it. “Julen Lopetegui took advantage of the substitutes and they worked out the goal action. Diego Costa played into the penalty area, then hit Adam Traore, and finally Bednarek stepped in,” it was written. The performance of the Pole was rated at 4.5, the worst score in Southampton.
In other media, attention was paid primarily to the circumstances in which the 26-year-old scored a suicide. “The ball went to Traore, and the defense of “Saints” (Southampton nickname – ed.) was unable to stop him from taking a shot. Bednarek was the last to touch the ball, it was a chaotic and fatal own goal, “wrote the newspaper “Shropshire Star”. Football 365 described the goal as “comical”.
This season, Jan Bednarek has played seven matches in the Premier League, failing to score a goal or provide an assist.
