COLCHESTER United enjoyed an excellent 3-0 win over Tranmere Rovers, on Saturday.

And Samson Tovide's performance in that victory has been recognised after he was named in WhoScored's EFL Team of the Week.

The 20-year-old striker was directly involved in two of the U's three goals, at the JobServe Community Stadium.

He scored with one of three shots and providing one assist for Lyle Taylor from his only key pass to return a WhoScored.com rating of 8.56.

 

That earned Tovide a place in the Team of the Week, along with the likes of Norwich City midfielder Callum Doyle and Ethan Galbraith, of Leyton Orient.

Tovide, who has made ten appearances for the U's so far this season, has scored in each of his last two games for Colchester and has provided assists for Taylor goals in two successive matches.

He will be aiming to maintain that fine form when the U's travel to play Walsall in League Two on Saturday (kick-off 12.30pm).
