Southampton striker Archer: Goal-scoring prowess fueled by pure instinct

Now a member of the Saints, he is eager to contribute and recently shared his knack for identifying goal-scoring opportunities.

“It’s more instinct really," Archer explained to the Daily Echo. 

"For most of my goals, I don’t really think. That’s down to a lot of repetition in training.

“It just happens when you get onto the pitch. A lot of hard work goes into it. It’s not always going to come off - sometimes it doesn’t, but hopefully it can continue.

“My best time as a player in terms of goals was at Middlesbrough. I didn’t think too much when I was there - it was all about instinct."
