Ghanaian-born Finnish forward Terry Ablade marked his return from injury with a breathtaking goal to galvanize Fulham Under-23 secure all three points on opening day of the 2021-2022 Premier League 2 season.
Terry’s Fulham made a winning start to their 2021/22 season on Monday night, recording a remarkable 4-3 win over last year’s play-off finalists Sunderland in an exciting and lung busting seven-goal thriller.
A strike from Sonny Hilton in the dying embers of the game meant the young Whites took all the three points.
The young Whites took the lead just after the half hour mark but were pegged back by the hosts before the half time whistle.
Ablade, who was a torn in the flesh of Sunderland all throughout the game, finally got rewarded for his efforts to give the away side the lead.
Ablade retrieved the ball on the left before cutting in and tucking his shot in at the near-post. The disguise on his effort left the ‘keeper with no chance.
Nevertheless, the young Black Cats responded again on the 55-minute mark to peg Fulham back at 2-2.
Sunderland took the lead for the first time soon after, with Tyrese Dyce leaping highest to head the ball in from a corner kick.
The game took another turn with 15 minutes to play. Substitute Bowie made an instant impact, directing his powerful strike towards goal.
Then, in the dying seconds, up stepped Hilton to give Fulham the lead once more but with seconds to go.
The last-gasp drama gave Fulham all three points in their season opener.
Ablade will hope to stay injury free following his mesmerizing display which was crowned with all three points.
