Loan update: Adekugbe makes FA Cup debut in return from injury

After missing over three months due to injury, Sam Adekugbe returned to first-team action with Brighton & Hove Albion FC on Saturday.

And he did so in impressive fashion.

Adekugbe drew praise from head coach Chris Hughton after helping The Seagulls claim a 2-0 win over League One side MK Dons in his FA Cup debut. The 21-year-old Canadian played a part in the build-up of Brighton’s first goal and set up a few more chances throughout the match.

“The two young fullbacks both did very well,” Hughton said after the match.
