Chelsea Loanee Tomori Reacts As First Senior 'Goal' Is Taken Away A Second Time
Published: August 15, 2018
Chelsea loanee, Fikayo Tomori has weighed in his thoughts from last night's 2-0 first round cup win over Oldham Athletic at the Boundary Park, stressing his happiness to get back to winning ways while also expressing his disappointment with the goal which was not given in his favour.
The 20-year-old defender thought he has scored his first professional goal when he steered home a Harry Wilson's delivery after 36 minutes to give his side the lead, but the goal will eventually go down as an own goal after taking a slight deflection off Oldham's Sam Graham before bobbling in.
"Good win and obviously happy to be in the next round and to get a clean sheet, a better performance from the weekend's result", he told Rams TV.
Replays, however showed the final ball did touch Graham and thus, the Nigerian is still in search of a goal of his own since turning professional.
"Last year, I got denied a similar type of goal as well and I think it will be poor from them to tear this one off me."

"Yeah.. I 've been working on deliveries from wide areas and focusing on getting in the right positions in the box.
''I just felt the ball(Wilson's delivery) was coming to the middle so I made my run in and luckily, the ball landed to me.''
While he was on from start to finish for the pulsating encounter, the Rams eventually ran out 2-0 winners to move into the round two of the competition; another Chelsea loanee, Mason Mount with the second goal of the evening.
