Leeds United boss Daniel Farke says scoring the ‘decisive’ first goal in matches is of great importance to him – something new striker Joel Piroe has demonstrated a knack for throughout his time in English football.
During his time at Swansea, Piroe scored 21 go-ahead goals, 19 of which broke the deadlock in games. Considering the 24-year-old scored 46 times for the Swans, almost every second goal he registered for the club was what Farke would call ‘decisive’.
In 2021/22, his first year in British football, Piroe netted nine go-ahead goals, eight of which were the first goal in games. The year after, Piroe upped his numbers, scoring 11 go-ahead goals, ten of which were openers. This season, he added to his tally in the Carabao Cup First Round, scoring Swansea’s opening goal in a 3-0 win over Northampton Town.
"In the 4-0, or the 5-0 or the 7-1 everyone can score but be on it when it's a tight game, it's really crucial.”
