West Ham midfielder Oxford stars and scores for Gladbach in friendly win

West Ham midfielder Reece Oxford struck for loan club Borussia Monchengladbach in their 2-1 friendly win over Malaga on the weekend.

The 18-year-old defender, who joined Die Fohlen on a season-long loan earlier this transfer window, rose highest in the penalty area to head home a corner and make it 1-1 in the 77th minute.

The goal marked an impressive performance at right-back by the Academy of Football graduate having been named Man of the Match after the full-time whistle.

After the game, Oxford said: “I'm happy to score but it's more important that we completed the turnaround."
