Mbwana Samatta joined Didier Drogba, Joseph-Desire Job, Obafemi Martins and Yaya Toure in an exclusive list of African players who have scored in the League Cup final.
The Tanzania international found the back of the net as Aston Villa lost 2-1 to Manchester City in the final of the competition on Sunday.
The 27-year-old’s diving header in the 41st minute was not enough to see his side claim the coveted trophy following Sergio Aguero and Rodri’s strikes.
Samatta’s effort saw him join Ivory Coast duo Drogba and Toure, Cameroon's Job and Nigeria's Martins on the list African players who have achieved the feat in the League Cup final.
