Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong netted a last-gasp winner in Salernitana’s 3-2 comeback win against Udinese on Saturday.



Troost-Ekong volleyed home with the last kick of the game to complete a remarkable turnaround against his former club.

It was the center-back’s first goal for Salernitana following his arrival from Sky Bet Championship club Watford in January.

Udinese went two goals up through Marvin Zeegelaar and Ilija Nestorovski.

The hosts rallied through goals from Grigoris Kastanos and Antonio Candreva.

Troost-Ekong then stepped in with the winning goal in the 96th minute.

Udinese duo Isaac Success and Kingsley Ehizibue missed the game as a result of injuries.
