Daniel Adu-Adjei Shines Again as Bournemouth U21 Dismantle Sheffield United in PL2 Clash
Daniel Adu-Adjei’s red-hot form shows no signs of cooling off, as the English-born Ghanaian forward notched his 15th goal of the season to lead AFC Bournemouth U21 to a commanding win over Premier League 2 Northern Division leaders, Sheffield United.
The 19-year-old striker opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, latching onto a clever pass from Dom Sadi before rifling home with his left foot. His early strike set the tone for the Cherries, who were dominant throughout the encounter.
Kobby Mottoh, another England-born Ghanaian talent, doubled the lead just before the break, giving Bournemouth a strong advantage heading into halftime.
Although Jaydon Makhalira pulled one back for the Blades shortly after the restart, Dom Sadi quickly responded with a goal of his own to re-establish Bournemouth’s two-goal cushion.
Adu-Adjei, who started the season on loan at Carlisle United, has been a revelation since returning in January. Under the guidance of Allen Connell, he has become a vital part of the U21 side and is steadily knocking on the door of the senior squad. His FA Cup debut earlier this season is already a promising sign of things to come.
With play-offs in sight, Adu-Adjei’s goal-scoring heroics continue to drive Bournemouth’s charge — and perhaps soon, a breakthrough into the Premier League spotlight.
