Troost-Ekong dedicates goal to his 91year old grandpa

By Akeem Lawal
SUPER Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong has dedicated his goal for FK Haugesund last weekend to his grandfather, Pa Willem Troost.


The 23-year-old scored his third goal in the Norwegian Eliteserien and was voted Man of The Match as Haugesund defeated Glimt 2-1 on Sunday, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.

The Nigeria international opened the scoring for the coach Andrea Loberto side in the 35th minute but Ole Jurgen Halvorsen temporarily leveled the scores for the visitors a minute before half time. Filip Kiss however secured the maximum points for The Arabs in the 56th minute of the encounter.

Troost-Ekong then went on Twitter to dedicate the victory to his 91-year-old grandfather who was cheering him from the stands at the Haugesund Stadion.

“Great 3 points, tonight's goal was for my 91 year old grandad Willem who came to watch me play today. Very happy to get MOTM! #AnotherOne 🔑,” he said via @wtroostekong.

Haugesund currently sit in fourth place in the Eliteserien standings with 44 points from 28 matches.
