2019 Flying Eagles invitees grab crucial equalisers for Accrington Stanley & Sheffield Wednesday

Two former Flying Eagles invitees in the shape of Korede Adedoyin and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru found the net for Accrington Stanley and Sheffield Wednesday respectively on the opening day of the Football League season.

In a League One tie at the Wham Stadium in Lancashire, Accrington Stanley and Charlton Athletic shared the spoils with a 2-2 draw.

Everton academy product Adedoyin was the hero for the home team as he salvaged a point with a 96th minute equaliser.

With defeat looming after Miles Leaburn struck in the 94th minute, the Nigerian-born winger scored from close range to secure a point for Accrington Stanley.

The 21-year-old has now netted two career goals for The Reds in the League One since joining them from Sheffield Wednesday in the January transfer window.

Adedoyin's former teammate, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru also grabbed a crucial equaliser as Sheffield Wednesday drew 3-3 with Portsmouth.

Dele-Bashiru restored the Owls lead in the 52nd minute and with nine minutes remaining fired in an unstoppable shot from distance to make it 3-3.

Dele-Bashiru and his pal Korede trained with the Flying Eagles in Germany before the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup.
