It was another good week for Amario Cozier-Duberry who continues to make important contributions to Bolton Wanderersâ League One promotion challenge.
The winger made it three goals and four assists with a late winner as his side came from behind to win 2-1 at Huddersfield Town and is clearly loving life with Bolton.
âThe fans have been great and Iâm really appreciative of their support. I want to keep building and to get them off their feet," he said.
âI want as many goals and assists as I can this season and contribute as much as I can to getting us promoted.â
Also on the mark this week was Andy Moran, who came off the bench to score a last-minute equaliser for LAFC in a 2-2 draw against Colorado in their second game in the end-of-season MLS playoffs. Another Irishman, Evan Ferguson, scored for the Republic of Ireland in their 1-0 win over Armenia in last Tuesdayâs World Cup qualifier in Dublin, but he was restricted to 16 minutes off the bench in Romaâs 1-0 defeat to Internazionale in Serie A on Saturday.

Malick Yalcouye was a second-half sub for Swansea in their 0-0 draw at Southampton.
