Luton Town’s newest signing, Victor Moses, made a stunning impact on Friday, scoring his first goal in England in six years against Plymouth Argyle.
The former Chelsea and Super Eagles star’s strike, although ultimately a consolation in a 3-1 loss, marked a memorable moment in his return to English football.

The 32-year-old Nigerian international was introduced as a substitute in the 58th minute, replacing Mads Juel Andersen. It took Moses just 13 minutes to make his mark, showcasing his clinical finishing ability.
Alfie Doughty’s pinpoint pass from the far left found Moses, who expertly controlled the ball before unleashing a left-footed strike that beat goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw.
Luton Town manager, Rob Edwards, praised Moses’ impact, saying: “Victor brought a different dimension to our attack. His goal was exceptional, and it’s clear he’s still got it. We’re delighted to have him on board.”
The goal marks a significant milestone in Moses’ revitalized career. After struggling to find consistency in recent years, he appears rejuvenated and determined to make a lasting impact in English football.
Luton Town’s aspirations for promotion will be bolstered by Moses’ presence. With his experience and quality, the team will look to push for a top-six finish in the Championship.
