Canadian Stephen Eustaquio scored his first goal for Swansea as the club defeated Lincoln City 2-1 on Saturday to return to the top of the English Football League Championship.
The goal came in the 51st minute off a kind deflection and was his first since joining the club via a transfer earlier this summer.
Swansea trailed 1-0 heading into halftime but came out strong in the second half, first getting a quick goal from Moussa Yeo in the 47th minute before Eustaquio’s eventual winner a few minutes later.
The 29-year-old midfielder joined Swansea from Portuguese powerhouse Porto on a two-year deal with an option for a third season.
A native of Leamington, Ont., Eustaquio has represented Canada at the previous two FIFA World Cups, including this past summer on home soil. He scored the stoppage time winner against South Africa in the Round of 32 that gave Canada its first knockout stage win ever at a World Cup.
He has 61 total caps for Canada.
