Newcastle United loanee Jacob Murphy wasted no time impressing his new club’s fans. He scored inside 120 seconds for Sheffield Wednesday on his debut for the Championship club.

Murphy was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday on deadline day. Steve Bruce decided to lend the winger to his former club as he had no plans to use him in the first-team this season.

Last weekend, Kadeem Harris impressed fans on his debut with a goal. And Murphy was the new winger to catch the eye, scoring in the second minute of the game.

Yorkshire neighbours Barnsley took the trip to Hillsborough but they were behind early. The ball deflected into the path of Murphy, who tucked the ball in from inside the penalty area.

Murphy will be hoping to impress for the Owls this season after a frustrating spell at Newcastle. The 24-year-old has failed to step up to Premier League football and he spent time on loan at West Brom last season.

Here are some tweets from Sheffield Wednesday fans reacting to Murphy’s debut goal and overall performance against Barnsley.
