Imray and Rak-Sakyi on target in midweek action
The games are coming thick and fast for Palace’s loanees, with three prospects delivering on Tuesday night.
Building on his strong performance on the weekend, where he registered a goal and assist, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi helped send Sheffield United to the top of the Championship with his fourth goal of the season.
Played in by Gustavo Hamer, who also set up his goal on the weekend, Rak-Sakyi took a touch on his right foot to control it in his path before rifling home on his left.
His goal came just before the hour-mark and proved to be the final one of the game for the Blades as they ran away 3-0 winners against Oxford to reclaim top spot in the second tier.
Bromley and Danny Imray were also in midweek action, following the postponement of their weekend fixture against Salford City.
The Ravens faced a tough task, travelling up to second-place Walsall, but they managed to take a 2-1 lead at the Bescot Stadium thanks to Imray’s first goal for the club.
In trademark Imray style, he received the ball out wide from Michael Cheek and raced towards the byline. Beating his man, he managed to get a shot away inside the box that cannoned in from a narrow angle off the crossbar.
Bromley were pegged back to a 2-2 late on, but Imray will never forget his first goal in professional football.
