Southampton’s Che Adams next to Ayegbeni in Premier League ranks

Substitute Che Adams’ goal for Everton in Sunday’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth was the latest strike in the English top-flight since Yakubu Ayegbeni’s feat in 2011.

With the Saints taking a slim 1-0 advantage into the half-time break courtesy of Danny Ings’ effort, the former England youth international sealed the win at the death to complete an agonising defeat of the hosts.

That strike for Ralph Hasenhuettl’s men at 97:56 ensured that Adams moved closer to the former Nigeria international striker’s feat achieved during his spell at Blackburn Rovers in November 19, 2011.
