Southampton on Tuesday evening secured an emphatic 4-1 win over Brentford during their Premier League game at the Saint Mary’s Stadium.
In the end, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team cruised to victory, scoring four goals at home after scoring not more than two all season.
Broja led the charge up top, wreaking havoc on the Brentford defence throughout the game, and scoring just four minutes into the second half.
The Chelsea loanee became the Premier League’s youngest player to score five or more goals this season and one of only two under-21’s to do so, along with Bukayo Saka (6).
No Southampton player has scored more Premier League goals for Southampton this season than Armando Broja.
◉ Armando Broja (5)
◉ James Ward-Prowse (5)
◉ Che Adams (3)
◉ Jan Bednarek (3)
Broja is now Southampton’s top scorer in all competitions with seven goals. Could the Blues be tempted to recall him from loan this month?
We've got a potential superstar in Armando Broja. Look forward to seeing him in blue next season. He really could be like a new signing.

After taking a hit to the head and being unable to complete the game, the 20-year-old attacker was replaced by Stuart Armstrong in the 78th minute.
Meanwhile, the visitors were underwhelming, offering little aside from Janelt’s perfect strike.
Southampton will now concentrate on their encounter against Wolves on Saturday, while Brentford must prepare for a difficult week that includes a trip to Anfield before facing Manchester United.
