Leeds loanee scored first goal since September.
This is the moment a very emotional Caleb Ekuban celebrated scoring for Trabzonspor.
The Leeds United loan striker scored just his second goal for the club, and his first since his debut in September.
Ekuban had only come on as a 74th minute substitute before breaking the deadlock eight minutes later.
His goal gave Trabzonspor a 2-0 win away to Kayserispor.
Ekuban has not started a league game since making his move to the Turkish side.
The striker’s emotional celebration owed more to it than simply breaking his goal drought.
Leeds Live report that his mother died in the week leading up to the match.
Ghana Soccernet had reported that Trabzonspor had told Ekuban he could have some days off to return to Italy where his mum was based, and that he was expected to miss the weekend’s game.
He decided to tough it out and battle for his team, and the timing of his goaletter.
