Nigerian forward Elijah Adebayo continued his blistering scoring form, netting in his second consecutive game for Luton Town in a thrilling 4-4 draw against Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Adebayo Scores Fourth in High-Scoring Encounter:
Playing at a packed St. James’ Park, Adebayo found the net for Luton’s fourth goal, putting them temporarily ahead 4-2. However, the Magpies battled back to secure a share of the spoils.
Nigerian Roots Shine Through:
The 26-year-old, born to Nigerian parents, played a crucial role in Luton’s attack, despite registering only two shots with one on target.
This follows his impressive hat-trick performance in their 4-0 victory over Brighton just days prior.
Back-to-Back Goals and Counting:
With his goal against Newcastle, Adebayo has now scored in consecutive Premier League matches, bringing his season tally to an impressive nine goals in 22 appearances.
While he is yet to record an assist, his goalscoring prowess has been instrumental for the newly promoted Luton Town.
Luton Seeks Consolidation, Adebayo’s International Future Uncertain:
Currently sitting 16th in the league table, Luton will look to build on their recent form when they host fellow promoted side Sheffield United next weekend. Meanwhile, Newcastle travels to Nottingham Forest.
On the international scene, Adebayo remains uncapped, eligible to represent both England and Nigeria.
His current form will undoubtedly attract attention from both national teams, making his future international allegiance an intriguing prospect to follow.
