Sutura Kakay nets for Sheffield Wednesday U18

Sutura Kakay was among the goals as Sheffield Wednesday Under-18s played to a 3-3 draw at Middlewood Road against Crewe Alexandra.

The visitors snatched a last-gasp equaliser in a six-goal thriller in their Professional Development League.

The midfielder joined the Sheffield Wednesday academy side as one of the 11 new prodigies to the club on two-year scholarship deals.

The young midfielder Sutura Kakay scored the Owls’ third after the break through a super strike in the 58 minutes to put his side 3-2 up. 

From 25 yards, he unleashed a stunning effort off the post – a goal that looked to have earned three points for the hosts.

Devlan Moses scored the host opener after just two minutes before the visitors hit back with two goals to overturn the deficit.

Caiden Remy-Dee draws parity for Wednesday on the half-hour mark. After the recess, Kakay gave his side a 3-2 lead with a stunner before Crewe’s last-minute equaliser through Railwaymen’s 94th-minute goal to snatch a point.
