Adam Lallana (seated) celebrates after netting against Derby
SAINTS manager Nigel Adkins has hailed Adam Lallana as the best player in the Championship.
The St Mary’s boss made the declaration in the aftermath of his side’s 4-0 demolition of Derby, in which Lallana starred.
The left-sided midfielder was at his magical best against the Rams, dazzling the visitors throughout with his wizardry.
Of his many sparkling moments, none was better than his sublime side-footed volley for Saints’ third goal.
“It was an outstanding goal from Adam Lallana,” said Adkins. “One word sums him up – class.
“For me he is the best player in the league. He is top drawer.”
