Gaining momentum. Antony scores for Betis in third consecutive match
It looks like Real Betis hit the jackpot by bringing in Antony from Manchester United. The 24-year-old Brazilian wasted no time making an impact, quickly finding the back of the net for his new club.
In Matchday 24 of La Liga, Betis hosted Real Sociedad. The Basque side was reduced to ten men as early as the 20th minute, but the hosts struggled to break the deadlock, even missing a penalty.
Early in the second half, Antony stepped up. After a set-piece delivery, the ball ricocheted inside the box before falling to the Brazilian, who struck it first-time with an unstoppable finish.
Notably, the Manchester United loanee has now scored in three consecutive matches. Interestingly, he managed just 12 goals in 2.5 years with the Red Devils but has already netted three times in just four appearances for Betis.
