Jeremy Sarmiento is going through a very positive situation, and after an injury in March last year, before leaving Brighton, he found an opportunity to stand out at West Bromwich Albion, adding minutes and demonstrating his potential.

The Ecuadorian footballer is one of the main options used by Spanish coach Carlos Corberán. So far, the Ecuadorian has played five games, either in the Championship (the second division of England) or in the Carabao Cup.

But, without a doubt, the match that will remain in the memory of the tricolors will be the one played last weekend. On the fourth day of the tournament, bags they defeated Middlesbrough with a score of 4-2, and the Ecuadorian managed to score the winning goal after 91 minutes.

The goal was special for the 21-year-old, not only because it was his first goal for Albion, but also because it was his first goal as a professional.

The tricolor midfielder arrived this season in chokes in the absence of opportunities in seagulls. And after the goal against Bora, he spoke to the club’s media, showing that he is happy with the moment in which he lives.

“I am very relieved. I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life. My first professional goal and getting three points with the team today is much better. All glory to God,” Jeremy Sarmiento said in English.

“You could see on my face how relieved I was. Scoring the first goal and seeing the team around me made me happy. Team unity is very important,” he added.

In addition, the Ecuadorian took a moment to explain how the play developed to his goal.

“I get the ball in the middle. I tried to pass the ball back to my partner, but it was marked. I tried to gain space by taking down the opponent, but they took the ball from me. We got the ball back and Mowie (Alex Mowatt) gave me the ball and I turned inside the box and kicked hoping for the best. And, with luck, it went in,” the midfielder judged. (D)
