The goal of the weekend in the English Football League is going to go to an 18-year-old United States prospect.
Making his League One debut for Southend United, Charlie Kelman made it one to remember in a 3-2 loss.

Kelman took center stage with Southend trailing Plymouth Argyle 3-1 in stoppage time. Regaining possession in his own half, the England-born forward belted the ball 60-plus yards to catch Kyle Letheren off his line.
Oh my.
