AGNIHOTRI’S SUPERB START TO LIFE AT NEWHAVEN

Finley Agnihotri has been in fine form since joining Newhaven over the summer, making six goal contributions in his last three appearances for their U23 side.

Agnihotri is a rapid winger, with a lot of versatility; the 18 year old is able to play as a full back, on either wing and even in the “number 10” role. His best attributes are his speed and dribbling ability, which has been a nightmare for defenders to deal with so far this season.

In a recent outing for Newhaven, Agnihotri got a brace in a comfortable 5-2 victory against Steyning. Last night Newhaven put on a dominant display against Hailsham, beating them 5-1.

Agnihotri assisted the fourth goal with a perfect delivery from a corner, he also had a chance to get another from a set piece, but his teammates effort on goal was cleared off the line.

Here are Finley Agnihotri’s full stats vs Hailsham:

• Overall rating: 8.3/10

• 90 minutes played

• 1 assist
