Yang scores first goal in English football

Yang Min-Hyeok hit a major milestone in his English football career on Saturday afternoon as he scored his first goal.

Coming while on loan at Championship side QPR, the winger struck at the Bet365 Stadium as his west London outfit travelled to Stoke City in the second tier.

Making his ninth appearance for Rangers since he made the temporary move in January, the South Korean came off the bench at half-time before lashing home on 78 minutes to open his account both for QPR and in English football.

Picking up the ball on the edge of the area, Yang took one touch to control the ball before swivelling and firing across the goalkeeper into the far right-hand corner of the net.

While a personal milestone for Yang, the goal was just a consolation for his side as they were already 3-0 down to the Potters by the time he registered.

Losing 3-1, it was QPR's fifth defeat in six games albeit they are sitting comfortably in mid table with just seven games remaining of the Championship season.

Last week, Yang made his international debut as Korea were held 1-1 by Jordan in Suwon.
