Killian Phillips scored an outstanding first league goal for Wycombe Wanderers in their 2-1 defeat at home to Reading on Saturday.
With the Chairboys falling behind to Sam Smith’s deft touch in the 30th minute at Adams Park, Phillips’ moment of inspiration arrived just two minutes later, hauling his side level in superb fashion.
The Republic of Ireland U21s international feigned to shoot from a knockdown by David Wheeler before chopping back and – in one fluid movement – curling a precise effort past David Button.
You can watch Phillips’ first League One goal for Wycombe at 0:38 in the video below.
And although Wycombe would ultimately concede again before half-time, and go on to lose 2-1 to remain in midtable in League One, Phillips’ moment of magic was one to savour.
Wycombe manager Matt Bloomfield said: “He plays with such energy, drive and passion and he has a lot of that in his life.
“His goal was brilliant, very well-taken and it was great to see. We’re happy to have him here and he’ll have a great career.”
Also featuring in League One, fellow Palace loanee Luke Plange played the first 70 minutes of Carlisle United’s 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic at Brunton Park, twice going close with headers for his side.
And in the Scottish Premiership, Malachi Boateng completed another 90 minutes for Dundee, this time in a 2-1 home defeat by Hibernian. His newly-promoted team nevertheless remain in midtable after an impressive start to the campaign.
