Kazaiah Sterling almost scored with his first touch after coming off the bench against Kitchee SC but wasn’t to be denied his dream debut as he slotted home the final goal of our 4-1 win in added time, a clinical finish from Dele Alli’s pass.
Still only 18, Kazaiah scored 14 goals in 29 appearances last season across Under-18s, UEFA Youth League, FA Youth Cup and Under-23s. That included seven goals in our run to the semi-final of the FAYC.
Reflecting on the trip, Kazaiah told us he'd never signed so many autographs!
Here’s what he had to say about his goal and Hong Kong, along with fellow goalscorers Sonny and Vincent Janssen, plus skipper Hugo Lloris.
