Jaouen Hadjam makes an immediate impact with debut Premier League goal

Algerian international Jaouen Hadjam enjoyed a memorable Premier League debut for Brighton against Sunderland. Introduced in the 88th minute, the 23-year-old defender secured a 2-0 victory for his side by scoring in the third minute of injury time. This impressive cameo follows a patient wait on the bench and builds on his previous success, which included an assist in the League Cup against Manchester United. By scoring, Hadjam becomes the 16th Algerian player to net a goal in the history of the English top flight. He joins the list of 22 Algerian internationals who have played in the Premier League, a legacy famously led by Riyad Mahrez.
