George Evans capped a memorable debut for Walsall with a goal in their 2-0 win over Barnsley on Tuesday night.
The 20-year-old midfielder only joined the Saddlers from Manchester City on a one-month loan earlier on Tuesday before starting and then opening his scoring account in the second half.
Evans fired home in the 62nd minute before Milan Lalkovic added a second 20 minutes from time as Dean Smith's side returned to second spot on the League One table following the weekend's disappointing defeat to Chesterfield.
There was plenty of positivity surrounding Evans on social media after the match, including a nice image montage from Walsall.
