@eveshamunitedfc.bsky.social losing 1-0 to second bottom Bracknell who looked good, composed on the ball and ran the first half. We had a good last five minutes but only one shot in the half

Saw something at the footie yesterday that I’ve never seen before in 60 years watching at all levels. Evesham FC sub Levi Steele came on as late second half substitute and scored with both of his only two touches. We won 4-1
