FC Player of the Day, Sep 28: Sekou Koita (RB Salzburg)

Sékou Koïta 90' 10

Red Bull Salzburg have scored 40 - FORTY - league goals in just nine matches this season as they continue to steamroller the opposition in Austria. And Erling Haaland was nowhere to be seen in their 4-1 triumph over Austria Wien, allowing 19-year-old Sekou Koita to step into his shoes with absolute distinction.

Koita has taken the step up into the Salzburg first team this season with distinction, scoring four goals and providing two assists in just 247 minutes of action, and here he was imperious, scoring a perfect 10 for his display.

The Mali international scored two superb goals and provided two assists to team-mates as well as creating a further big chance that should have been converted. Everything positive in attack went through Koita and it seems that if Haaland were to leave next summer as expected, Salzburg already have a ready-made replacement ready to go.
