Winger Mikey Johnston of West Brom departed With his “fantastic” goal in the Championship victory over Plymouth Argyle, Andy Johnson dazzled.
Tuesday, February 20, at Home Park, saw Carlos Corberan’s team return to winning ways with an outstanding 3-0 victory. Tom Fellows and Cedric Kipre scored goals either side of a spectacular strike from Celtic loanee Johnston.
The 24-year-old skillfully maneuvered from the left side, executing a precise shot that sailed past Connor Hazard into the Argyle net. This dazzling moment astonished former Albion star Johnson, who commented on the play during the WBA TV broadcast on Tuesday (20 February, 21:21).
Expressing his amazement, Johnson remarked, “There it is! He didn’t have many options, but he had a lot to accomplish. People have questioned his end product, but here’s a bit of end product for you – top bins. That’s fantastic, an incredible goal. He creates something out of nothing, a superb strike he makes for himself.”
As West Brom and Carlos Corberan sought to strengthen their forward line in the January transfer window to enhance their playoff chances, the addition of Mikey Johnston appears to have addressed that need. The Celtic loanee has quickly adapted since joining The Hawthorns last month, and his recent goal on Tuesday night highlighted his ability to produce magical moments that could play a pivotal role in the playoff race this season.
