The striker of the Japanese representative, who finally made his debut in the Premier League, has made a strong impact. Obviously I was talking about Kaoru Mitoma.
Brighton will play tough opponents Newcastle at home in the Premier League second round on 13 August. It ended in a goalless draw.
After defeating Manchester United 2-1 in Round 1, Mitoma didn’t get a turn to play and started on the bench again in this match. Then, in the 75th minute, the time finally came.
In the 81st minute, the Japan midfielder created the decisive opportunity with a splendid through ball, and in the 85th minute, when he received the ball down the left wing, he was at the mercy of England defender Kieran Trippier. Pull off with a brilliant feint, gouge deep and send the last pass. However, Pascal Grosz failed to get it into the frame and unfortunately it didn’t lead to a goal.
