Jansen makes his mark

The goal helped the reserves scrape their first point of the season in a 2-2 stalemate with Everton.

The game was dull with not much notable happening until Jansen was passed the ball just inside Everton’s half.

He controlled the ball once then let fly a goal announcing that he’s back and he’s hungry for goals.

The forward was on the verge of Sven’s England side going into the World Cup finals, but one fateful day in Rome nearly ruined everything.

A motorbike crash with a taxi saw Matt lying in a coma for several days, after which doctors feared he’d never play top flight footy again.

But Jansen wasn’t for listening and has done superbly well to battle back to fitness and now hope to feature in the Uefa Cup against Celtic.
