Boufal savours 'very special' Southampton goal

Southampton - Al Maghrib Today
Sofiane Boufal was left beaming after scoring a sensational solo goal in Southampton's 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, describing it as a "very special" goal.
The 24-year-old Morocco winger picked the ball up midway inside his own half in the 85th minute at St Mary's and surged past five opposition players before sliding a shot into the bottom-right corner.
"My first Premier League goal of this season, yes, it's very special," Boufal told BT Sport.
"The most important thing is we take three points -- more important than my goal.
"I scored one in France I remember, but I am so happy with this goal."
Boufal had come on as a substitute and he made a point of celebrating right in front of Saints manager Mauricio Pellegrino, who has given him only one league start this season.
"I am so hungry," said the former Lille player. "The most important thing is to show the manager on the pitch I can play with this team."
Boufal's goal -- his first since December last year -- lifted Southampton to 10th place in the table, two points above 13th-place West Brom.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
