Scored his first goal and the winner today for Walsall.
Walsall won 2-0 and he got the first ;-)
So he got the winner
No because, had he not scored, Walsall would still have won. Therefore his goal can't be deemed the winner.
Except a whole different set of events would have taken place had his shot (header or whatever) been missed, so it wouldn't necessarily have finished 1-0.
Woah woah woah, let's apply some logic to this: The winning goal is the goal that stopped it from being a draw and made it become a win.
In this case, the first goal of a 2-0 win is definitely the winner.
Yes but, logically, in a 2-0 win the first goal is as irrelevant as the second one, because they would still have won 1-0 had either not been scored. Therefore neither goal is the winning goal.

This is dumb. The winner is a goal that definitely makes the difference between a draw and a win. If a team wins by more than one there is no winning goal.

Must have been around 3 or 4 then.
