Southampton: Martin delighted for Dibling after Premier League goal

The 18 year old was set through by Adam Lallana - who made his Southampton debut when Dibling was six months old - before he crashed past Arijanet Muric.

Dibling remained cool and composed in the box to spin free of Jacob Greaves before sending Kosovo international Muric the wrong way.

The academy graduate would have had his first Premier League assist had Cameron Archer not smacked the post from a tight angle.

He remained a threat on the right until he was replaced on 82 minutes by the vastly experienced Adam Armstrong.

"Tyler was brilliant again," Martin told the Daily Echo. "Adam (Lallana) gave us a moment that not many people give us. The pass was outstanding and so was the finish.

"Tyler was excellent again. We need to get him to a place where we can last 90 minutes - he was cramping up from 70 odd minutes this week.

"He'll get used to that but also we need to bear in mind his age and be patient. It's not all going to be easy. There isn't a linear path to being the best he can be.

"Fortunately, I'm the guy that gets to work with him and try and develop him - make him understand what's really important and where 100% is all the time.

"I think that's been the biggest growth for Tyler last year. There were some bumps in the road for me and him. I think you understand it's always for the best for him.

"To be the best version of himself he can be and he's taking everything on board so far. He needs to continue doing that whilst maintaining his courage and willingness to try things on the pitch.

"That's the most beautiful thing, the freedom he plays with. The approach to whoever he's playing against doesn't faze him.

"We also need to make him understand how he gets that point. Too many times in a young player's career they have a tough moment.

"The fear takes over a little bit and maybe they don't get the support they need or whatever. We need to make sure we're able to give them that."
