Young winger Bright Osayi-Samuel tallied his third and fourth goals of the season in all competitions in Blackpool’s 3-1 win at Newport County on Saturday afternoon.

That was the first time the Nigerian-born talent managed to score more than one goal in a competitive fixture since making his senior debut two years ago against Sheffield Wednesday.

Osayi-Samuel was named Blackpool’s social media Man of the Match against Newport County after all votes were tallied, with 73 percent of the fans voting for him.
