Tottenham youngster Alejo Veliz proud of first goal

Tottenham youngster Alejo Veliz opened his account for the club against Brighton in the Premier League.

While the London club did not get the result they wanted, losing 4-2 to the Albion, Veliz did get on the scoresheet.

While his goal only made it 4-1, the team did get inspired to fight back and score another before the final whistle.

Post-game, he posted on Instagram: "It wasn't the result we wanted but today is a very important day for me.

“I share this new achievement with my people who are always with me. May it be the first of many more. God's timing is perfect."

"Congrats mate! Now more," came a response from the club's no.10 James Maddison.
