Cameron Borthwick-Jackson made just one Championship appearance during a loan spell at Leeds United last season.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson had never scored a goal in his entire professional career until Tuesday night. But that all changed as his Scunthorpe United side welcomed Charlton Athletic to Glanford Park in League One.
Borthwick-Jackson appeared to stun even his own teammates when he fired home a deflected drive from the edge of the box on half an hour.
So just imagine the reaction when he scored again eight minutes later, slotting home with the composure of a seasoned centre forward to set Scunthorpe on their way to a 5-3 win against the Addicks.
While Irons supporters were catapulted into dreamland by Borthwick-Jackson’s unexpected heroics, some Leeds United fans were stunned into silence.
The Manchester United-owned left-back spent last season on loan at Elland Road but proved to be a massive disappointment.
He made just one Championship appearance for Leeds and returned to Old Trafford in January with then-manager Thomas Christiansen completely freezing him out of his first-team plans.
No wonder Leeds fans were left doing a double-take as ‘CBJ’ appeared on the score sheet not once but twice.
In another cruel twist for Leeds, their own left-back Barry Douglas limped out of Tuesday’s 1-0 win at Hull with Marcelo Bielsa confirming to the Yorkshire Evening Post that the Scot has suffered a muscle problem.
