The Wolverhampton Wanderers academy graduate scored his first senior goal for the Old Gold.
A number of Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Morgan Gibbs-White’s goalscoring display in Wednesday’s 4-0 thumping of Newcastle United in the Premier League Asia Trophy.
The 19-year-old scored his first senior goal for his boyhood club, seizing his opportunity after the ball was played into his path following some poor Magpies defending to emphatically rifle low beyond the reach of Freddie Woodman from just outside the box.
Wolves had got off the mark with a fierce Diogo Jota shot on the quarter-hour mark and, following Gibbs-White’s goal, added a third through the Portuguese six minutes before the break, before wrapping up the rout through Thomas Allan’s late own goal.
Here is what some of the Wanderers faithful said on the social media platform about the highly rated young midfielder getting off the mark for his boyhood club:
After rising through the ranks at Molineux, Gibbs-White went on to make his Premier League bow in the opening fixture of the 2018-19 season, while the year before, he experienced international glory by helping England win the Under-17 World Cup.
The midfielder, who made 31 appearances in all competitions for Wolves last season (Transfermarkt), also signed a new contract in early 2018, committing the next four-and-a-half seasons to Molineux.
