Sheffield Wednesday defeated QPR 2-1 yesterday and after the game, Dom Howson picked Anthony Musaba out for some praise. The Dutch performer struck deep into stoppage time to give the Owls a huge victory.
It was a hardworking performance from Wednesday as they edged closer to the safety zone in the Championship. Bailey Cadamarteri equalised with four minutes remaining and then Musaba took centre stage.
Musaba signed for the Owls from Monaco during the summer transfer window. It was an intriguing signing made by Xisco Munoz and crucially, the previous manager couldn’t really get a tune out of him.
Howson raves about Musaba
The journalist who writes for Reach PLC is often a man who knows his stuff about Wednesday. After yesterday’s game, he had some praise for Musaba after his match-winning moment.
He said on X: “The best signing #SWFC made in the summer transfer window? Hands down Anthony Musaba. That’s now four goals for him this season. Still only 23 so should get even better. Him and Cadamarteri are the future.”
Musaba’s four goals represent a first campaign in England that has seen him enjoy some success. There will be more to come from the tricky winger and if he keeps scoring his confidence should go through the roof.
Musaba can really go places with Wednesday
Landing the Dutchman does look like a more inspired signing with each passing week. He’s starting to showcase his true quality and it’s exciting to see what potential he has in the future.
Musaba is comfortably Wednesday’s best summer signing. The challenge for Danny Rohl during the January transfer window will be to add more quality – and players with similar class to the winger who was plucked from Monaco.
His goal yesterday was finished off with aplomb. After some good work from Barry Bannan, a header came off the post and was tucked in by Musaba with an instinctive finish.
It sparked delirium in the stands at Hillsborough. The fans have had it quite rough this season and it’s a testament to Rohl that there now seems to be optimism that the drop can be avoided.
The Owls youngster isn’t without some flaws but as a young player, he will get some credit as he learns his role at Wednesday. On current form, however, it looks as though a gem has been unearthed by the club.
