Dream Return for Simon Adingra with Brighton After AFCON Victory
The young Ivorian returned to the "Seagulls" after winning the Africa Cup of Nations and dazzled with a brace in Brighton's rout.
Simon Adingra will never forget this past week. And how could he forget the week he became champion of the Africa Cup of Nations and scored his first-ever brace in the Premier League?
That's precisely what happened to our protagonist, who at 22, has become the trending footballer. With Ivory Coast, he shone throughout the tournament and especially in the final.
Yes, he didn't score either of the two goals that helped the "Elephants" overturn Nigeria to crown themselves champions of the AFCON for the third time, but neither of those goals would have happened without Adingra's involvement, as he provided assists for each of them.
A double assist in the AFCON final, MVP of the final, and upon his return with Brighton, another brace, but this time with goals. He scored the fourth and fifth goals as the "Seagulls" dealt a blow to Sheffield in the English tournament.
A truly memorable performance because it's the young Ivorian's first brace in the Premier League. Undoubtedly, an unforgettable week.
