English-born Ghanaian youngster, Tyrique Delali Yusuff George, scored his debut Premier League goal to inspire Chelsea to a comeback victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
George, who recently found the net in the UEFA Europa Conference League two weeks ago, struck in the 83rd minute to level the score after Alex Iwobi had put Fulham ahead in the first half.
In dramatic fashion, Pedro Neto secured the winner for Chelsea deep into injury time, boosting their hopes of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
George, currently representing England at youth level, is enjoying a breakthrough season. He has been making waves alongside fellow Ghanaian talent Josh Acheampong, another promising product of Chelsea’s academy system.
The teenage winger now has two goal contributions in the Premier League—this goal adding to an earlier assist he recorded.
Josh Acheampong, who played in Chelsea’s midweek Conference League fixture against Legia Warsaw, was on the bench for Sunday’s game and didn’t make an appearance.
Both George and Acheampong remain eligible to switch international allegiance to Ghana and potentially represent the Black Stars at senior level.
