Zimbabwe’s Tivonge Rushesha made special history after marking his senior debut for Swansea City on Wednesday night.
The English Championship club gave the 17-year-old right-back a substitute appearance in last night’s Carabao Cup against lower-division Cambridge United.
With the score at 5-0 on 76 minutes, Swansea coach Steve Cooper took the moment to make Rushesha’s senior team dream come true.
