West Ham youngster Marcus Browne has his first senior goal.
West Ham youngster Marcus Browne has had an unlucky past 18 months with injuries and might finally be having some good fortune.
Browne, 20, is on loan at Oxford United and scored his first ever senior goal last night in the Carabao Cup.
He scored in a 2-0 win over Coventry City, netting the team’s first goal of the season after a difficult start to the campaign.
Browne’s previous loan spell at Wigan Athletic never got started due to injury, and this one is looking more promising.
The 20-year-old has been regularly impressive for West Ham’s under-23 side, and needed a new challenge.
The attacking midfielder hopes that his performance and goal will help earn a league start, and after Oxford’s poor start to the season, they should strongly consider throwing him in this weekend against Portsmouth.
Oxford had lost their first two league games 4-0 to Barnsley and 2-0 to Fleetwood.
His early impact is good news for West Ham, who hope he will come back and challenge for a first team place.
Here is a look at how fans reacted on Twitter to Browne’s display…
