Standout star sparks Utrecht fightback with late nerve from the spot | OneFootball

Artem Stepanov converted a penalty in the 90th minute to earn Utrecht a 3-3 draw against Go Ahead Eagles.

The forward was lively early on, seeing a right-footed effort from outside the box blocked after linking with Ángel Alarcón (10.). He kept asking questions with aggressive runs into the area.

After the restart, he slipped Adrian Blake through on the break for a chance that flew just wide (48.). He then attacked the near post from a corner but his header was blocked (56.).

When Blake was fouled late on, Stepanov took responsibility and buried the spot kick low to the bottom left (90.). It was a composed finish that rescued a point against the Supereagles.

He finished with four attempts, one on target, plus seven touches in the box and a key pass, underlining how he occupied central spaces and repeatedly forced Go Ahead Eagles onto their heels.
