'It was like The Journey on FIFA!' - Southampton wonderkid Tyler Dibling explains 'surreal' Marcus Rashford moment

Europa League

Southampton

Tottenham

<p>After barely playing for Southampton's first-team last season in the Championship, the 18-year-old has become a regular for Russell Martin's men in the Premier League. The winger came up against United in September and said sharing a pitch with Rashford felt like he was playing The Journey on FIFA - an old mode of the game that allowed players to guide a rising star through his career.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/video/dibling-discusses-his-rapid-rise-and-best-bits-so-far-web" target="_blank">Saints' website</a>: "Because I only played limited minutes for the club last year, I didn't think I was going to go on and start a lot of games for the club. I was very nervous before it. It was against Manchester United as well. I felt like I was in The Journey on FIFA. It was weird. I had Rashford next to me. I've used him on FIFA for about five years. It was a bit surreal. After that game, you just get used to it to be fair. I was so nervous before - I don't usually get that nervous - but once you step on the pitch and I made that first pass, I settled. I took on [Diogo] Dalot and won a penalty, unfortunately, Cam [Archer] missed it but it's still a good moment. Sam Amo-Ameyaw said to me: 'If you do well, you could stay in the team'. This is why I'm in the team, to take people on. I can't shy away and pass backwards. I need to be positive and sometimes it works."</p>

WHAT TYLER DIBLING SAID

<p>Dibling, who had an<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tyler-dibling-low-socked-dynamo-shining-southampton-calling-quits-chelsea/blt04b206ad3e20e495" target="_blank"> ill-fated and short spell in Chelsea's youth setup</a>, has been one of the few positives for Southampton this season - who are languishing in the relegation zone. The 18-year-old has scored one goal and bagged two assists and may be key to their survival chances. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Southampton face a huge clash with fellow newly-promoted Leicester City at St Mary's on Saturday afternoon. Saints sit 19th with one point from seven games whereas the Foxes are four places higher and five points better off.</p>
