Leicester City fans were thrilled with debutant James Justin after he returned home to Luton Town to score the second goal in the Foxes’ 4-0 win in the Carabao Cup last night.
The defender dispatched a half-volley from eight yards out after a pass from Youri Tielemans in the build-up to the goal (via BBC).
The 21-year-old moved from Championship club Luton to the King Power Stadium in the summer for an undisclosed fee on a five-year deal (via Reuters).
The fullback, who can play on either side, made more than 110 appearances for his hometown club as he rose through the leagues with the Hatters (via Transfermarkt).
Brendan Rodgers’ side followed up from their superb 2-1 victory at home to Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday.
Fans were gushing over the 21-year-old after his performance last night as they took to Twitter to show their appreciation.
Here is a selection of tweets from the King Power faithful:
You were immense, JJ!
