Matos urges Vipotnik to find form of last season

Vitor Matos hopes Zan Vipotnik's goal in Swansea City's defeat at Southampton will spark a return to the form which earned him last season's Championship golden boot.

Matos urges Vipotnik to find form of last season

Zan Vipotnik, who garnered the Championship golden boot last season with 25 goals, aims to regain his previous form following Swansea City's defeat to Southampton. The Slovenian striker scored his first goal of the season in the 3-1 loss at St Mary's, coming from a penalty spot. Southampton secured the win with goals from Finn Azaz, Cyle Larin, and Leo Scienza after Vipotnik equalized.

Swansea manager Vitor Matos believes the goal could be a turning point for Vipotnik, stating that once he starts scoring, he will be more composed and motivated. Matos emphasized that Vipotnik's desire and collective spirit from last season are crucial for the team's success. With transfer windows closed, Vipotnik is likely to stay at Swansea, competing with Adam Idah and Ross Stewart for playing time until at least January.

Matos hopes Vipotnik's goal against Southampton will kickstart a scoring run, and the team aims to analyze their performance at Southampton to improve for their upcoming match against Burnley.
