This Southampton striker scored twice at Wolves while Larin was misfiring at Wrexham
Adam Lallana's under-21s won 2-0 away at Wolves on Friday evening and one player gave a gentle reminder to Tonda Eckert that perhaps he should be give his chance in the first team.
Saints had 24 shots in the match and now sit second in Premier League 2 behind Spurs on goal difference. Lallana's young side have still not been beaten.
Southampton only got around to publishing the match report this morning, which is how most supporters found out.
Princewill Ehibhatiomhan should be hammering on the door as Divin Mubama looked out of his depth and Cyle Larin failed to score away from home again.
Two goals from the same six yards
Both of Friday's goals came from the same area of the pitch and from the same combination. Calum Anderson slid Sufianu Sillah Dibaga to the byline for the first. Sillah Dibaga cut the ball back; Princewill Ehibhatiomhan controlled it and passed it in.
Sillah Dibaga reached the byline again for the second and picked out Ehibhatiomhan for a volley from six yards.
Three weeks with the forwards away
So what does a brace in Premier League 2 actually do for Ehibhatiomhan? At the very least, it should buy him some more time around the first team in training.
Look at what Tonda Eckert has around him from Monday. Larin flies to Canada, and five more from the squad scatter to Japan, Ireland and Israel for a fortnight and a bit.
Larin will be fine, by the way. He had more touches in the Wrexham box and more shots than anybody on the pitch. It was his finishing that deserted him, not his appetite.
Saints Marching asked at the start of the month whether this youngster could push Larin, back when the Canadian had a flat night at Birmingham. Friday's effort was the best Ehibhatiomhan has been since.
None of which makes him ready. Lewis Dobbin cost £9m in the summer and got three minutes of stoppage time at Wrexham. Eckert does not hand out forward minutes freely.
This break does not have to be dead time, though. Saints Marching has already argued that the long pause lands awkwardly for a side in this kind of form. Three weeks at Staplewood with half the forward line abroad is the downside of having such a talented squad.
Two goals at Wolves, a day before Larin could not find one in North Wales. Could the youngster feature when Portsmouth come to St Mary's on the 11th of October?
