Caleb Ekuban - Trabzonspor

The Leeds United loanee lost his mother last week but at his own request just four days later appeared as a 74th minute substitute for Trabzonspor. Ekuban would go on to head the Turkish side into the lead just eight minutes after stepping off the bench in a 2-0 victory which sparked an emotional celebration with his team-mates as he burst into tears.

It was Ekuban's second goal of the season in nine appearances for the club so far with the 24-year-old yet to be named in a starting line-up so far this campaign.
