Danny Welbeck – SOCCER News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores, assists in win

Welbeck scored a goal off four shots (two on target), made an assist and created three chances during Sunday’s 3-1 win over West Ham.

Impact

Welbeck had another big performance here, being involved in many dangerous plays, both finishing and creating for his teammates, and was rewarded for his efforts during the closing stages of the match. First, in the 80th minute, he made a big play to assist Pascal Gross’ goal that gave his side a 2-1 lead. Then, the forward headed home a corner from the right to seal the 3-1 win for Brighton. Over 25 league appearances (15 starts), Welbeck had six and two assists, with three goals and two assists coming over the last five. The strong finish made his contract renewal a priority in Brighton and, according to manager Graham Potter, sides are “really close” to reach an agreement.
