The Celtic winger impressed for loan club Sunderland today.
Sunderland fans on Twitter are raving about Celtic winger Lewis Morgan.
The 22-year-old, who joined the Black Cats on loan from Celtic in January, had arguably his best game for the League One side today.
Sunderland faced off with Portsmouth at Wembley in the final of the Checkatrade Trophy, which Pompey won on penalties.
Morgan went off injured on 75 minutes but he had probably been the Wearside club’s best player up until that point, and was particularly electric in the first half.
Here’s how fans of the North-East side reacted to the Celtic man’s display:
Morgan had really struggled in his first full season at Celtic during the first half of the season, making nine Premiership appearances but all of them were off the bench.
Nevertheless, he remains a major talent and it’ll be interesting to see if Neil Lennon – or whoever the Hoops choose to replace Rodgers this summer – can get more out of him next term.
His ability is undeniable, but he turns 23 in September. He’s at an age where really he should be delivering and if we’re still talking about Morgan’s potential this time next season then it’s a big reminder that he hasn’t lived up to his billing completely.
