Japan winger Kaoru Mitoma scored his first goal for Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday as his stellar display helped them secure a 3-2 away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
Hidemasa Morita of Sporting Lisbon and Ayase Ueda of Cercle Brugge also netted in a promising weekend for Japanese World Cup hopefuls in Europe.
Mitoma, in his second straight start under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, played a part in the 10th-minute opener at Molineux, using the outside of his boot to pass to Leandro Trossard who laid the ball off for Adam Lallana to curl home.
