Akpom scores on Ligue 1 debut for Lille

Chuba Akpom made an instant impact on his Ligue 1 debut for Lille, scoring in their 2-1 defeat to Le Havre on Saturday night.

With his goal, the Nigerian forward became the fourth player from his country to score on his Ligue 1 debut, joining the ranks of Moses Simon (Nantes), Victor Osimhen (Lille), and Terem Moffi (Lorient).

The 29-year-old, who is on loan from Ajax, started the game on the bench and was introduced in the second half, replacing Osame Sahraoui.

While Le Havre had already taken a two-goal lead through Koka and Issa Soumare, Akpom found the net deep into stoppage time, marking a memorable start to his career in French football.
