'Unbelievable' - Mat Sadler hails Albert Adomah after reaching career century
Walsall boss Mat Sadler says there are a "million reasons" he loves working with Albert Adomah, after he scored his 100th club career goal in their 3-1 win at Shrewsbury Town.
Ryan Finnigan opened the scoring on his first Walsall start inside the first four minutes, before debutant Bradley Ihionvien levelled for Shrewsbury five minutes later.
Will Boyle and Tommy McDermott both hit the bar in the first half for Shrewsbury, who carried the greater attacking threat for the first hour.
But Adomah found a new burst of pace midway into the second half, cutting out a loose pass by Luca Hoole, to confidently convert into the bottom corner.
That put Walsall on course for victory in their EFL Trophy opener and Sadler continues to be amazed by how 37-year-old Adomah continues to defy his years.
"Unbelievable. What a guy, I love working with him for a million reasons," Sadler said.
"His ability is one of them. We all know the amazing footballer that he is and the career that he has had.
