1 goal in the first-round EFL Cup win against Sheffield United!
On Thursday, August 14, he started in CF against Sheffield United FC.
In the 6th minute of the first half, Birmingham applied intense pressure from the front, forcing a misplaced back pass from the opponent. Gray didn’t miss the opportunity and intercepted the ball. He reached it before the opposing goalkeeper and delivered a final pass. Reacting quickly, I made a run into the box and calmly slotted the ball into the net to open the scoring.
It was my first official goal since joining Birmingham!
Riding the momentum in the 16th minute of the first half, I broke forward from my own half with a dribble, drawing in defenders before threading a through ball to a teammate making a run into space, creating another scoring opportunity.
Then, in the 41st minute of the first half, I applied rapid pressure on an opposing defender and won the ball. Carrying it forward on the dribble, I went one-on-one with the goalkeeper. I attempted a chipped shot to throw off his timing, but a recovering defender covered and blocked the attempt, narrowly missing the chance to add another goal.
Substituted in the 11th minute of the second half.
Although the team was briefly caught up with an equalizer, they scored a late winning goal to secure a 2-1 victory, advancing to the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Thank you for your support.
