Wilfried Bony scores winner for Newport County's development side to leave fans confused

The World Cup may be the focus of everyone's attention but in South Wales, eyebrows were raised at the sight of one man who has scored on football's biggest stage before.

Newport County held a behind-closed-doors friendly against their fellow League Two adversaries Swindon Town on Tuesday at Newport Stadium - winning the game 2-1.

However, it wasn't the result that had people talking - it was the fact that the Welsh outfit had Wilfried Bony up front.

Bony has trained with the Exiles on and off since the summer of 2019 as he looks to build match fitness while finding other clubs - and he showed his class by scoring the winner for their development side.
