Sam Adekugbe scored his first professional goal on Tuesday – and what a goal it was.
The Vancouver Whitecaps FC fullback broke free on the overlap before blasting a left-footed strike into the roof of the net to help Brighton & Hove Albion FC defeat Oxford United 4-2 in the second round of the Football League (EFL) Cup. The goal came less than two minutes into the match.
Adekugbe is on loan at Brighton through June 2017.
This was his second appearance with the first team, after making his debut in Brighton’s 4-0 win over fourth-tier side Colchester United FC in their EFL Cup opener earlier this month.
