Leroy could be one of my new favorite players.  Ridiculously legit with the ball at this feet…

Our boy CDavies came on in the second half in his Ligue 1 debut for Sochaux and bagged himself two goals! Great debut for Charlie to get a couple goals under his belt, but unfortunately Sochaux lost 3-2 against Bordeaux.
