William Gomes shrugs off interest and makes his mark at FC Porto | OneFootball

William Gomes started the first three games finding his rhythm, but then showed his “killer” instinct, scoring against Arouca, Académico de Viseu and Moreirense. On Friday, he was decisive in securing all three points and was ultimately named man of the match, thanks to a goal and an assist. Since joining FC Porto, he had only managed that once before, last season, against Arouca.

The winger had a busy summer break, marked by several rumours linking him mainly with English clubs. However, he resisted the interest and the board did not receive any formal offer. He therefore began a season that could represent his definitive breakthrough and open even more doors for him within a year, especially as he will have the chance to play in the Champions League.

In the spotlight against Moreirense, William was denied one of his trademark goals by André Ferreira, with a curling shot after cutting inside. Shortly afterwards, he delivered a perfect free-kick onto Bednarek’s head, allowing him to make it 1-1, before completing the comeback in the second half. The two assists he now has – the other came against Arouca – allow him to match the total he managed throughout last season.
