Promising winger David Ajiboye netted the winning goal as an FA Representative XI team came from two goals down to record a 3-2 win against Bedfordshire FA in a friendly on Tuesday, April 9.

Bedfordshire FA led 2-0 at half-time courtesy of goals from David Longe-King and Nelson-Addy.

A minute into the second half, Worthing FC winger Ajiboye had a chance to half the deficit but goalkeeper Sam Donkin palmed the shot away.

The FA Representative XI team staged a comeback, with Isaac Galliford and Bradley Clayton writing their names on the scoresheet before Ajiboye grabbed the winner on 88 minutes.

The 20-year-old, who is also eligible to wear the jerseys of Nigeria and Jamaica, made up for his miss by scoring from two yards out to seal the win for his side.

Ajiboye previously played for the youth teams of Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove and Millwall.

He has scored 15 goals this season for Isthmian League Premier Division club Worthing FC.
