Tariqe Fosu of Ghana made his professional debut for Stoke City on Wednesday in their 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough in the English Championship.
At the bet365 Stadium, Fosu played until the 73rd minute before being substituted by Tom Sparrow, helping his team earn a point and deny Middlesbrough its first victory of the year.
After falling behind 1-0 to Jacob Brown’s goal, Duncan Watmore turned the game around for Boro seven minutes before halftime with his first goal of the year. He then forced the error that led to his team’s second goal.
But, just 13 minutes after coming on for Dwight Gayle, Wright-Phillips evaded his markers to meet skipper Lewis Baker’s teasing right-foot cross and go full length to head home unattended from eight yards out.
Stoke City will now turn their attention to this Saturday’s game against Sunderland, with the added advantage of playing infront of the home crowd once again.
Fosu joined the Potters on season long loan from Premier League side Brentford
