The 21-year-old, snapped up from non-league Lewes last summer, lashed home a ferocious drive beyond the Swansea goalkeeper less than 60 seconds after coming off the bench. And things got even better minutes later as he then won the penalty which enabled his boyhood idol, Aaron Ramsey, to seal a famous victory for the Bluebirds.

The talented young winger is no stranger to setbacks having been released by his boyhood club, Arsenal, as a 16-year-old and then his hometown club, Bromley, so his golden moment was vindication for his perseverance.

To be on the scoresheet with him against Swansea was absolutely unreal. "I was over the moon when he signed. Not just because I loved him as an Arsenal fan, but also because he's an unbelievable player. In the changing room he's t){kind=link}
