Brighton midfielder Mito Kaoru has scored his 10th goal of the season. He played in the home game against Liverpool in the 20th minute of the second half, with a 1-2 match, and in the 24th minute he killed a loose ball with his left foot.
This season, three Japanese players scored double digits in league this year in Germany and France, but Mito achieved the greatest achievement of the world's highest Premier League. The league's total scores reached 20 goals. The 28th birthday is the 20th in Japan time. It was the “birthday goal.”
He played in the second half, with one point behind. Four minutes later, Mito received a pass on the left side and set it off. He attracted two opponents, passed the ball on the outside of his right foot, and then forward Welbeck scored with his left foot. This was prevented by goalkeeper Allison, but Mito responded to the loose ball and kicked him into the left corner of the goal with his left foot.
In the 40th minute of the second half, with Mitomo being 2-2, the goal was to start with Mito's vertical pass and midfielder Hinshelwood finally scored the lead. Brighton won the match 3-2.
