Adebayo scores in 8-goal thriller
While Watkins stole the show at the Lane, Super Eagles-eligible forward Elijah Adebayo and his newly promoted Luton Town are proving a hard nut to crack.
Adebayo and his group of Hatters won’t stop scoring after a remarkable eight-goal thriller against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.

Adebayo’s goal was his fourth in the last two matches after the hat-trick against Brighton the last time, taking his tally to nine goals this season in the PL.
